Eddie Dean made any movie worth listening to and his roles usually made them worth watching.
Jennifer Holt ALWAYS made a movie worth watching, and in "Hawk," she had an unusual role that proved she could and should have been a star. Superlative performance.
Roscoe Ates was an intrusion, but most of the rest of the cast varied from good to great.
In addition to Eddie Dean's songs, the score highlighting the action fit well; the photography was excellent; the stunts, in particular the fight scenes, were simply first-rate; and the entire film was well directed.
There is an good print at BnWMovies.com, a site I highly recommend.
