Stirring the pot

[bkoganbing · 4/10 · 17 September 2015]

Johnny Mack Brown and Raymond Hatton ride the trail again in yet another assignment to stop a Frontier Feud. A feud that is being instigated by a third party and it's the usual western villain in these films who is interested in acquiring the two spreads from the feuding parties.

The pattern in these Johnny Mack Brown westerns from Monogram is for both Brown and Hatton to arrive separately into a vicinity and assume separate undercover identities. Brown sometimes reveals his true identity to a select few he can trust, Hatton never does. In the end the bad guys know, in fact everybody knows as they ride off into the sunset.

I've seen a few of these and they all fit the same pattern. I guess that saves the economy minded Sam Katzman on writers.

Nothing exceptional about this one. It could use some restoration.

Frontier fued

Nevada Jack (Johnny Mack brown) and his grizzled sidekick Sandy (Raymond Hatton) are US marshals posing as drifters. Rancher Joe (Dennis Moore) is accused of a series of murders, but Nevada and Sandy manage to prove that another man is the guilty party.

Johnny Mack brown and Raymond Hatton go undercover again, thus time involved in a feud between two ranchers. Typically, they act like their don't know each other. It's a fairly ordinary western that just ambles along without sparkling too much. It lacks punch for the most part, but it fills in the gap if you're bored. It doesn't have much action and it ends flatly.
