Between Men

A film somewhat overly-ripe in melodrama and acting (not unexpected with William Farnum in the cast), but that is more than compensated for in the overall style, content, intent and sincerity. The contrast between the tree-shaded civilization of Virginia and the stark vastness of New Mexico makes it one of the most visually interesting B-western ever made; the skillful blending of pure action and story progression is about the best to be found in any of the Johnny Mack Brown or Bob Steele westerns from producer A.W.Hackel and, not to take anything away from cameraman Bert Longenecker on this film---and the great Archie Stout on many others from the same director---the outdoor photography here serves as further proof that cigar-chomping director Robert North Bradbury had an eye for composition.
