Perfect cast and a good story
Excellent, a Must See
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
Shadows On The Sage finds the 3 Mesquiteers answering the summons of Harry Holman the town drunk who was appointed sheriff on a dare. But like Charles Winninger in Destry Rides Again, he plans to bring in some deputies and we know who they are.Tom Tyler, Bob Steele and Jimmie Dodd are the 3 Mesquiteers, but neither Holman or Steele know that Tucson Smith has a double riding with the outlaws who are in the control of banker Bryant Washburn who is trying to get a hold of Griff Barnet's mine. Including Bob Steele's twin.This was a close run thing, but Holman turns out to be not such a jerk in the end. And of course the 3 Mesquiteers clean things up and ride off into the sunset.
Good 3 Mesquiteers. Bob Steele was one of the best B Western guys, he ended up as Duffy on F-Troop. Jimmie Dodd ended up on the Mickey Mouse Club. Sheriff Lippy is a fat, shambling wreck played by Harry Holman, a fat shambling wreck.
