Reasonable Feature, Though Rather Routine

"In Old Montana" is a reasonable B-Western, but it's rather routine. Fred Scott stars in a singing cowboy role patterned after Gene Autry and others, with Harry Harvey as his loyal comic sidekick. Here, Scott plays a cavalry officer who is trying to settle a range war between cattlemen and sheepmen. The setup is somewhat interesting, but as it continues it gets more routine, although there is usually some action. It's about as good as some of the more average efforts of Autry or similar stars.

Opening credits prologue: When the links in the chain of States that made up the great United States were forged, there were many conflicts, dramatic and spectacular, that often threatened the prosperity of the frontier and the economic structure of the whole nation.

Such was the war that broke out in Montana in 1880 between the cattle barons and the sheep-herders. The cattlemen had priority and also claimed sheep polluted the land and streams, cropping the grass so short the grazing land was ruined for years. The sheepmen claimed that raising sheep was more profitable and that "the spread" was Government land and they had as much right to it as anyone else.

The series of events chronicled here took place in the Lobo Valley just below the fertile grazing lands of the Powder River Basin.

Although frankly a Western story, with fictitious characters, each one originally had its counterpart in fact.
