Montana (1950)
6/10
Coolly mode blue-suited Morgan Lane and Montana spotlighting the savage curtain of cattle and sheep
23 April 2020
Montana is a dope flick and spotlights the savage curtain of the cattle men vs sheep men who each must make a business out of their chief focus. By now they have figured out all the angles how to to make a manageable Western good, not to say the other Westerns are sorta those are definitely adventurous, but in this there's little things that I appreciate that have addition to this movie. The hero is Morgan Lane - wow what a name, that evokes shrewdness especially with how Morgan is a hearty sounding name while it contrasts with Lane, a sharp cool and clever fox and just like he is in here, yet the good guy with these characteristics. He deals in sheep and the badguys are cattle people who own the biggest property for this in Montana, an earthly state deep in USA, with a cooly sounding name, maybe they have out of state trade as well if they're such a big 'range.' Rather than gunfights there's more fisticuffs going on in contrast to other Errol Flynn Westerns, maybe this is more gentlemanly or barbaric it's trying to make the point, either way another little thing I notice only now is Flynn has to differentiate himself to the mammoth amount of other Western stars who are more roughhewn and he showcases an element of wiles, cool, smooth, dressed to the nines as he starkly drops his more rustic cowboy wear early to put on a cool blue suit as he heads to Montana. More on this suit I'll get to. I also appreciate this flick for not relying on the Civil War as a backdrop to increase entertainment, which is not bad just that it's the genre from relying on automatic war, I like to check how they make this entertaining by other methods that must use creativity and here it spoitgliths the battle between cattle men and sheep men which is nifty, wow. This is conjured up like a big deal even unintentionally with humor to what appears aloof, cattle and sheep can both coexist 'out on the range,' which is like a business party broken up as someone says, 'everyone on the cattle side let's get out of here,' and a badguy saying about Morgan, 'he knows sheep, now he's gonna learn about cattle.' Ooooh. The badguys motive is like nothing, they made their names on cattle woopdedoo. When so many heroes frequently wear red in movies, this is refreshing to see the cool blue suit of this hero aaaah. The Montana state is very smooth cool sounding name and this is showcased by the hero Lane also suiting himself up with a cool blue suit and out cools.
