Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaLeon Schlesinger, who in addition to creating and overseeing the Warner Bros. animation unit, also produced films for the studio's B-western unit. He signed a broad-shouldered young actor named John Wayne partly out of his physical resemblance to Warners' silent-era cowboy star Ken Maynard in order to more easily match the stunts and footage taken from the earlier Maynard silents that were to be inserted into a series of remakes of those films, of which this is one.

Featured review
The Man from Monterey review
A typical John Wayne movie from the years during which it looked as if his career would be spent churning out an endless chain of low-budget programmers, The Man from Monterey boasts better production values than most of his movies from this period, but the plot is no better than the cheapest of his output. He plays a cavalry officer who seeks to protect a family from scheming neighbours trying to grab their land. Naturally, there's a pretty daughter (Ruth Hall) for him to fall for and on whom the moustachioed baddie (Donald Reed) has designs, and the obligatory comic relief (Luis Alberti). Inoffensive and forgettable
