ChampDavSlim The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
JohnHowardReid Producer: Vincent M. Fennelly. Copyright 4 February 1951 by Monogram Pictures Corporation. No recorded New York opening. U.S. release: 4 February 1951. Never theatrically released in Australia. 63 minutes.SYNOPSIS: The Kansas Kid endeavors to lead a cattle drive to Abilene, despite the opposition of a rival ranch foreman.COMMENT: This neatly directed Whip Wilson entry maintains the right balance between talk and action. There's plenty to keep the pace cracking, including cattle stampedes, gun fights and lynching parties. Wilson and Clyde make a first-rate team.In all, however, this one comes across as a Moderately Entertaining Monogram Western. Would you believe, that although the film boasts a sizable human cast, there is not one single steer in the whole shebang. The Monogram motto — Thank Heaven for Stock Shots — is much in evidence. But, boy, you think they could have hired at least one or two steers for close-ups, instead of forcing the principals to idly flick their stock whips at dust swirls! And speaking of whips, aside from lethargic air-dusting, Mr. Whip Wilson doesn't use his whip even once. Still, for all that, "B" western action fans will find this little item offers passable enough entertainment.
