This is just the sort of film that you can imagine being shown at the ABC Minors or Odeon or Gaumont Clubs on a Saturday morning.It is full of round ups and gun battles and saloon bar brawls.A basic plot about railways,horses and rustlers and all wrapped up within one hour.If you like this sort of stuff it is both enjoyable and nostalgic.However it is a bit sad to see 2 great stars of yesteryear rather looking on their uppers.Unfortunately you are wondering who has the bigger stomach and the biggest double chin.Hoot Gibson clearly was not up to the more physical action as he is often on the periphery.Also stuntman are very much in evidence as doubles.Particularly in one stunt when Maynard stops as he is about to jump 20feet on to to the back of Tarzan his horse.There is a cut to a long shot where clearly a stuntman does the jump which i have to say rather makes ones eyes water at the thought of the effect of the jump on both stuntman and horse.
