Director: LAMBERT HILLYER. Original screenplay: Lambert Hillyer. Photography: Ben Kline. Film editor: Gene Milford. 2nd unit director: Wilbur McGaugh. Producer: Irving Briskin.
Copyright 30 March 1934 by Columbia Pictures Corp. 6 reels. New York opening at the Criterion: 22 May 1934. U.S. release: 24 March 1934. Never theatrically released in Australia. 59 minutes.
SYNOPSIS: A stand-alone outlaw falls for the sheriff's daughter.
COMMENT: Another pleasingly unusual Buck Jones entry. In this one, writer/director Lambert Hillyer expertly combines action and romance. Indeed the two are so brilliantly integrated that one of the romantic scenes must surely figure in any film lover's list of the one hundred most moving moments in the movies. Nonetheless, despite the emphasis on romance, action fans will have no cause whatever to complain.
Cecilia Parker is a stand-out as the pushy heroine. Jones is just right as the hero-in-the-wrong. Arthur Vinton as the chief heavy and Clarence Geldart as the heroine's dad are also appealing in their different ways.
