REVIEWS

Review by anonymous (posted on 6-Jun-2005)

This was a very entertaining movie. The storyline was exceptionally complex for a Western and, along with some excellent intrigue,there was a genuine and literal cliffhanger. The performances by John Wayne, Walter Pidgeon, and Roy Rogers were very good. It was certainly one of The Duke's better roles and Roy Rogers role was a complete surprise. Walter Pidgeon made a very believable villain who was not totally in a "black hat". And, oc ourse, Gabby Hayes provided some very cute and humerous scenes. I would definitely recommend this to anybody who is a fan of The Duke's or who wishes to pass a couple of lazy summer hours in a very entertaining manner.
