The story here isn't bad, and that's really what drives the movie. Errol Flynn plays Clay Hardin, who's recently returned to Texas from Mexico, only to find out there's been some rustling going on.
Typical of older movies, there's a love interest (in this case Alexis Smith as Jeanne Starr), who reminds me of Greta Garbo, the look, laugh. The two of them have pretty good chemistry.
Jeanne is a saloon singer / performer and she brings a breath of fresh air to this film.
I particularly like her manager, whom nobody seems to understand. He's peculiar, which is interesting to me.
After Clay's friend Charlie Bell is murdered, he gets 24 hours of support to get to the bottom of it all.
The movie is predictable and nobody particular looks (or acts) like a real gunslinger. A couple guys don't even look like they know how to hold a gun, yet it's funny how 1 guy can nail 3 guys with 3 bullets then miss the main guy they want to kill with 3 or 4 shots. That's a bit hokey to me. But it also gives the film a bit of a light-hearted feel.
It's entertaining to me. Sure, it could be better, but I'm an Errol Flynn fan, I like the story here, and it kept me interested.
