The rodeo gang


The Man from Utah (1934)

Directed by Robert N. Badbury this early western stars John Wayne and Polly Ann Young. A young man goes under cover for a US Marshal to infiltrate a gang of crooks.

Coming in at just under an hours run time this film is a little on the short side so you should not expect a lot of content. The plot such as it is does not really seem to make much sense, if this gang is running rodeos that make so much money for the local town why do they need to resort to cheating and robbing stagecoaches on the side? Given how long ago the film was made some of the direction is pretty rudimentary and the best parts of the film are the stock footage used for the rodeo sequences.

2/5
