Reviews
Highly Overrated But Still Good
Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.
Buck Jones' fourth role as a Mountie but his first in a talkie. Ross Lederman was an efficient if not imaginative director and with a picturesque location, an effective leading player and an experienced cast did a pretty good job with Mckenna of the Mounted. Buck's horse, Silver was given less to do than in many other Buck Jones movies but was on good form for the chase scenes. The story is one of a disgraced Mountie who joins an outlaw gang after robbing a bank. He is co-opted into robbing his sweetheart's ranch to prove his loyalty but the proceeds from a train station robbery turn out to include a letter that puts his life in danger. These early Columbia sound Westerns and his serials for Universal helped Buck Jones to become the most popular Cowboy star of the 1930s.
