Son of Oklahoma

I enjoyed this film very much. It is grim and intense, with bleak and dimly-lit indoor settings and even bleaker and quite harsh outdoor desert settings. It is hard to imagine that life's comforts for most of us are so far removed from those days of 150 years ago! That stagecoach was rocking like the real thing, and indeed it probably was! The cast carried off their assignments quite well, a varied mix of characters and emotions on display. Sure, there are a few messy items that are tidied up a bit too easily, but heck, they only had an hour! One can be transported to the time of the old West very easily by giving this film a chance. The print I saw hard an underlying noise in the soundtrack, which only served to make the film more intriguing and atmospheric.. Earl Dwire was one heck of a presence back in the day...somehow he inexplicably got last billing in this one. This is a fine film (for its era and budget) to watch.
