According to the aphorism, "No one in Hollywood sets out to make a bad movie."
It wants to be true, even though thousands of bad movies HAVE been made.
"Marshal of Heldorado" has a lot going for it: very talented cast members, good scenery, good photography, and a good print at YouTube.
Alas, like all the rest of the world, the script needed a much better editor!
In fact, the final print also needed a better editor.
Things happen that just plain shouldn't. That, in fact, couldn't.
For example, in one chase scene, the chaser suddenly is not only ahead of the chasee, but he's managed to climb a tree and somehow just happens to be right where the chasee will ride exactly underneath!
As I understand, this stock company -- of, again, excellent performers -- produced several movies at one time.
Surely it would have been easy for actors, directors, and the rest of the crews to get confused as to which script they were supposed to be following. Maybe the writers, if such there were, got confused also.
Anyway, I don't tell anyone "Don't see this film" because I like the people in it. But they sure hit a clinker this time.
