Being a great fan of Dick Foran, I look forward eagerly to anything he's in.
This movie was unknown to me before I lucked onto it at a video site, but I grabbed it to watch immediately, putting off some work to be able to watch.
Dick Foran was one of the best singers in Hollywood. Some say his singing, his voice, were more suited to operetta than to Westerns, but I think his style of singing was just fine for his cowboy films.
His leading lady is Linda Perry, someone I had never heard of before, but I was charmed by her performance. She is very slender, but very pretty. As a bit of a spitfire, and daughter of the lady bar-owner, she is strong-willed without being a harridan.
Her mother is played by Irene Franklin, probably the best actor in this cast, giving a strong and personable performance.
Wayne Morris appears in his first Western, and the great Glenn Strange is part of the posse, too.
Harry Woods and Cy Kendall are the chief bad guys, and they give their usual good performances. Bud Osborne has a brief bit, but I recognized his voice.
All in all, this light bit of a movie is entertaining and admirable. I do recommend it, especially to Westerns fans and to Dick Foran fans.
