Cowboy movies then early 1930s were all about HATS!! Generally the bigger the better & black for Baddies & white for Goodies. Count 3 thennn go forrr yourrr Hat... the HELLL I WILLL.
Best thing about these movies is no music to drown out all the dialogue. Next best thing is I love those horse running/chasing scenes with all the hoof clopping rapid fire. Just love these old Westerns!
Buck Jones sets the sage at the beginnning "The law of God is the law of man but that law has been abused". He has no less than John Wayne in his sights and Duke has Million Dollar legs Ziegfeld girl, Susan Fleming in his sights. This is a great action packed movie with many great classic actors.
Ol buck sure did heal fast from a bullet in the shoulder as all the old cowboy heros did. Wisht I healed that fast. Fun movie, Common theme bad guy sets up good guy to take the fall and last minute saving from bad guy confessing.
i have seen 68 of buck jone's 74 b-westerns. the 6 i have never found are The Lone Rider (1930), Desert Vengeance (1931), McKenna of the Mounted (1932), Silver Spurs (1936), Ride 'Em Cowboy (1936), Empty Saddles (1936) in case you can find any of them.
He says thou shall not kill. That is actually not what the Bible says. This has been mis-translated for many centuries. It actually says, thou shall not murder. There are times when killing is justified. But murder is not justified in the eyes of God.
With that theme music, this was originally a Columbia picture, with different titles, probably for TV screenings. After "The Big Trail" crashed at Fox, Wayne made a number of 'B' westerns over the next eight years.
I can't remember what they call those special bullets that they used back then. You know, the kind that don't leave a hold in the material when you shoot somebody through their clothes. Haha! Buck had no hole in his shirt. Oops! Continuation man!!
As a fellow who raised & broke horses down in S. Texas, those hats served a purpose. The wide brim gave much needed shade, while the tall crowns allowed a "cooling tower" much like the Mexican, "sugar-loaf" sombrero.
Wayne in support of the great Buck Jones. Wayne was treading water at this point after his "The Big Trail" suffered at the box office, through no fault of his own. But late in 1932 and into 1933 Wayne made six fine westerns for Warner Brothers which put him back on his path to a solid position in B-westerns and which served to finally propel him into his life-changing role in "Stagecoach" in 1939.
I'm trying hard to watch this for this first time, but when the TITLE IS MISSPELLED, I find it hard to keep a straight face! The art department had one job! FEUD not FUED
