A two-bit western.

Warning: Spoilers
I recently decided to watch as many movies from the year I was born and up until now I have had quite an enjoyable experience. I have rediscovered what a fine actor Lloyd Nolan was and Preston Foster too. Unfortunately, I had to sit through this tripe just so I could tick if off my list. I don't know where to start. Well, I'll begin with the combo that breaks up the film with a few ditties, wooden describes it well. The cutting of the movie was poor, surely they could have cut the girl looking up waiting for her cue to start acting. The bit actors who stand around and move their heads only when someone else speaks. The scene where the gang all run after the Durango Kid is so obviously speeded up (no one runs that fast in an upright position). Smiley Burnette is as funny as a paper cut. "Scaredy Cat Blues" sung by Smiley was cringeworthy to say the least. After 30 minutes I was checking the clock to see how much longer to go. The bad news is they made a lot more of these in the same year...oh dear!
