Nonureva Really Surprised!
SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
Allan Radbourne (allanradbourne) Buck Jones' fourth role as a Mountie but his first in a talkie. Ross Lederman was an efficient if not imaginative director and with a picturesque location, an effective leading player and an experienced cast did a pretty good job with Mckenna of the Mounted. Buck's horse, Silver was given less to do than in many other Buck Jones movies but was on good form for the chase scenes. The story is one of a disgraced Mountie who joins an outlaw gang after robbing a bank. He is co-opted into robbing his sweetheart's ranch to prove his loyalty but the proceeds from a train station robbery turn out to include a letter that puts his life in danger. These early Columbia sound Westerns and his serials for Universal helped Buck Jones to become the most popular Cowboy star of the 1930s.
