Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhile the exact time frame of the movie is unclear, at 22:16 a portrait of Theodore Roosevelt is seen on the wall over Eleanor's left shoulder. Roosevelt served as U.S. President from 1901 to 1909 meaning the film takes place within the first decade of the turn of the century.
- GoofsNear the final scene, when John Wayne and the villains are standing in front of a hill, a shadow from the boom microphone is visible on their pants.
- Quotes
[John Martin has assisted old timer George to get to his supposed mule, Nellie - and is surprised to see a motor car instead]
John Martin: Is that Nellie?
George Hale: [earnestly and proudly] Yup. That's Nellie.
John Martin: Well, it's an automobile, isn't it?
George Hale: Yes-sir-re-bob. Ain't nuttin' like 'er in th' whole county!
John Martin: [smiles] You mean, *the whole world*?

As was pointed out by another reviewer this takes place during the first decade of the last century as typified by both the picture of the current president on the post office wall, Theodore Roosevelt. And by the fact that mailman Gabby Hayes delivers the mail in one of those new fangled contraptions and automobile with a crank starter.
The car proves to be a double whammy for both the outlaws and the good guys. Since it's the only car in the valley when Gabby Hayes is captured by the outlaws it makes it real easy for the Duke to follow as he laughingly points out. Of course when Gabby tries to rescue Wayne during the climax, he doesn't reckon on another problem for early automobiles, they run out of gas and there ain't no filling stations built yet. I have to confess a chuckle or two as Gabby and Lucille Browne hitch up some harness horses to his Model T and have to go out that way to the final gun battle.
Rainbow Valley is not a bad western for a Lone Star Monogram production. At a bigger studio with a better script and better production values this could have been a classic.
