ThrillMessage There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.
Helloturia I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.
Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
keith-hubbard-49-995134 Posses on horseback chasing after Model T Fords has never been my idea of a Western. Though I tolerated it from Roy Rogers (as a child of the 50s) I can't take it as an adult fan of The Duke. If there are cars in the picture 'it ain't a western'.We do have the obligatory hide out in a cave and John Wayne diving in to river-he must have been a heck of a swimmer because he sure jumped in to lakes and rivers a lot in these B films of the 30s. It actually is not a bad story line as far as these old b&w movies go-but I go back to my previous point-cars and horses don't mix in my mind as to what a western should be. I'm not asking for my money back though-just my least favorite of the 30s western genre that helped launch the Duke's career.
FightingWesterner Yakima Canutt and his gang of counterfeiters try to run his former partner Dr. Carter and his medicine show out of town before the "doctor" recognizes him and quite possibly blows the whistle on Canutt's involvement in a recent string of bogus bills. Luckily for Carter, undercover lawman John Wayne is the show's new trick shooter.The last film Wayne made for Lone Star/ Monogram Pictures, this is more light-hearted and less action packed than other entries. It's still good fun with a few decent action scenes and stunts.The best thing about it is the wonderful scene featuring the medicine show in all it's glory, including the sales pitch, music, and a trick shooting demonstration.
morrison-dylan-fan After enjoying Blue Steel.I went on to watch this,and i feel this is a really under-rated forgotten gem.The plot: John Wayne is told by the U.S. government to stop a counter-fitting scream that some people in Mexico are helping do.Wayne is told by the U.S. government that they think the main people involved are the travelling "mediciine sellers"(The "Medicine" is a drink that has 90%00 alcohol in it!)The Carter family is not as involved in the problems as he had thought.But he and the family get in trouble when some fake "stolen" iteams are planted. View on the film: Screenplay/Direction.The screenplay was by Robert E Mmett and it gives a really good feeling of Wayne and the Carters becoming really good friends as time goes on.The director is Carl L.Pierson.The thing Pierson does well is to have the plot move along really well,while not taking anything out of the friendship and building the tension. The cast:The cast really work well as an ensemble and you really feel a good friendship between them all.Final view on the film: A really good,sadly forgotten film.
Snow Leopard John Wayne and a couple of reasonable action scenes are about all that keep this B-Western afloat. The plot is mildly interesting, with Wayne working undercover trying to break up a counterfeiting ring. But it strains credibility a little too often, and the goofy medicine show settings, while occasionally amusing, cause at least one too many groans. The action scenes are OK, thanks to Wayne and Yakima Canutt, who plays the bad guy. Wayne was still progressing as an actor himself, and would later have much more of a screen presence, but he was obviously above most of the material in this movie. The film itself is really only interesting because he was in it, and it gives you reason to be thankful that eventually he was given a chance to move on to better things.
