Gangsters of the Frontier

The rangers organize a town to rid it of a criminal gang.

Wow, a great roster of western baddies all in one movie—Jolley, King, & Reed. In fact, the pudgy King and the skinny Wilkerson have some pretty funny scenes together. The boys get to do a lot of hard riding and fast shooting in a familiar LA-area locale. Happily the boys don't aim too well so no one appears to get hurt in these big shootouts. But check out that imaginative climax, unlike any I've seen. And Dave (O'Brien) must have glue on that big white hat since no matter how vigorous the fisticuffs, it stays put on his head. Oh well, what front row kid like me ever cared about such niceties. Heck, even this current front row geezer gets a good chuckle now and again. Besides, I still like hearing Tex Ritter warble a western tune—here he gets three. All in all, it's a decent oater with a big cast of extras.
