Oklahoma Outlaws (1943)
**** (out of 4)
Excellent Warner short mixes historical drama with the Western genre to deliver one of the most action packed and suspenseful shorts I've seen. In the film, after the Oklahoma land rush of 1893, a family helps create what would become known as Tulsa but a gang of outlaws are also in town with their own plans. Robert Shayne is excellent as the hero and Warner Anderson packs a nice punch as the rival. The film works wonderfully well as a historical drama of the land rush and the fictional Western segment has all sorts of good action.
