Nonureva Really Surprised!

ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

Sammy-Jo Cervantes There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

utgard14 John Wayne plays a sheriff who mistakenly believes he killed his best friend. So he turns in his badge and goes to live in the woods. A year later the dead friend's citified daughter shows up. Wayne has to rescue her and she offers him a job as foreman on the ranch she inherited from her father. Romance follows but not without some troubles. Eventually Wayne finds out who really killed his pal and straps on his guns to get justice. In many ways this is a routine B western, the type Duke made plenty of early in his career. The plot elements and even some of the stunts seem familiar to other Wayne oaters I've seen from the period. But there are some interesting things I haven't seem before. John Wayne being broody, for one thing. At one point we see him with a beard and trying to look disheveled. Kind of funny. Gabby Hayes is also in this but without the grizzled old-timer shtick we all love. It's enjoyable enough for the type of unchallenging movie it is. I think these were mostly aimed at kids back in the day so don't expect anything deep.

JohnHowardReid This is the twelfth of the fourteen Lone Star westerns in which John Wayne starred between 1933 and 1935. Unfortunately, it is not one of the most action-packed in the series. In fact, there are only three action sequences in the whole movie, including two at the beginning and the customary double climax. And none are staged with the breathtaking vigor of "The Lawless Frontier" or even "West of the Divide". True, a couple of the stunt falls are daring enough and the locations are well utilized, but writer-director Robert North Bradbury's camera in the hands of photographer William Hyer, is a bit light on running inserts. The stunts are all shot from fixed positions. And the climax is further marred by the obvious insertion of ancient stock footage. Instead we are treated to a comic milking contest between Fern Emmett and Henry Roquemore! As if all this were not inducements enough to give "Texas Terror" a miss, the heroine did not take my fancy at all, and the bad guys did not impress me either, though it was good to see Buffalo Bill, Jr. in a fairly sizable role as a sort of chief henchman to the chief villain. However, apart from Wayne himself, who turns in his usual capable performance, the most interesting player is George Hayes. Although he turns in an odd scene or two speaking in his usual wheedling old sourdough voice, for the most part he employs his natural accents. In fact, it's weird to see Hayes with such a neatly trimmed beard, let alone to hear this impeccably mellifluous voice issuing from his lips. Perhaps he felt the role needed more dignity – and he was dead right. In fact, Hayes is one of the very few members of the Lone Star stock company (Wayne is another) who can make writer-director Bradbury's clichéd and instant information dialogue seem at least halfway convincing.

Jay Raskin "Texas Terror" is better than a lot of the Wayne Lonestar Productions. In this one, Wayne gets a chance to expand on his usual innocent-tough guy persona. After an incident where his friend gets shot, a distraught Wayne quits his job as sheriff. He falls apart and grows a beard and looks like he's halfway towards turning into a Gabby Hayes, gruff-old- goat character. He then does another nice-turn-around to get back to being the hero. Wayne is less stiff and actually looks interested in the scenes he's in. Its really one of his best early performances.Besides Wayne getting to play a more multi-dimensional character, there's a great plot twist at the end. It is Wayne's Indian friends who come charging on horseback to the rescue. It is nice to see a 1935 movie where the Indians are truly the good guys and heroes in the tale.There's an hilarious milking contest in the middle. The losing milker looks exactly like the Pappy Yokum character from Li'l Abner. He was probably the prototype.Overall, this Wayne Lonestars becomes more interesting as it goes along. This is not something you can say about some others.

classicsoncall The story line in "Texas Terror" is built on a fairly weak plot line; throughout the film, John Higgins (John Wayne) believes that he killed his old friend Dan Matthews in a shootout that takes place at the beginning of the movie. Having just chased a gang that committed a robbery to Matthews' cabin, it never occurred to Higgins that maybe he was killed by one of the bad guys. Where's ballistics when you need them? Upset over his friend's death, Higgins gives up his sheriff's badge, and it passes to former sheriff Ed Williams (George pre-Gabby Hayes). Higgins heads out of town to take up a solitary life as a prospector, and turns in a good deed when he helps a young Indian boy with a broken leg, thereby earning Chief Black Eagle's gratitude, which will come in handy later on.Eventually, Matthews' daughter Beth (Lucile Brown) returns home to run her father's ranch, and hires on John Higgins as her foreman. There's something she can't quite connect to Higgins' voice, though earlier he rescued her from a bandit gang in his unshaven, unkempt guise. Higgins keeps Beth at a distance, knowing that when she learns of his involvement with her father's death someday, she will wind up hating him.It's interesting to see how primitive these early films were in their exposition of key story elements. The movie relies on a lot of eavesdropping and coincidence for the characters to interact, for example, Wayne's character overhears the Martin boys discuss their plan to rob the Wells Fargo safe, while Beth follows Higgins to observe him open the safe after he got the combination from the banker.The lead heavy in the film is Joe Dickson (LeRoy Mason), and in league with the Martins, he plans to rustle the Lazy M horses and use the proceeds to impress Miss Beth. By this time, Higgins decides he needs to get to the bottom of Dan Matthews' death, realizing that maybe he wasn't the guilty party. He calls upon Black Eagle to foil the horse heist, and as the tribe swings into action, Higgins first gets the drop on Blackie Martin (Jay Wilsey), who in turn fingers Dickson for his crimes, all the way back to Dan Matthews' murder.As in virtually all of the mid 1930's Lone Star Westerns, John Wayne winds up winning the female lead, usually shown with the two in a clinch at the end of the film or riding off into the sunset. Here it's done more by innuendo, as Black Eagle and another rider watch Beth enter the cabin where Higgins is. After two hours, the men get weary and decide to leave after offering comments on how unpredictable women can be. Two hours? I wonder what they were doing!
