Harry Carey was one of the best of the cowboy heroes, and even at an age best described as "no longer young," he was still the hero.
Here his character is opposed by one of the busiest of great character actors, Tom London. According to one source, London was in probably in excess of 2,000 roles!
Charles "Slim" Whittaker plays a worried father, an anxious rancher, and a temporary sheriff, with his worrying daughter played by a lovely and talented, but not well known today, Betty Mack. Really, with her looks and ability, she should have many more credits, but apparently most of her roles were uncredited!
Conflict is provided by cattle rustling as well as a romance frowned upon by the aforesaid father, and some undercover investigating that gets discovered too soon.
Character Victor Potel is almost unknown today, but he plays the title role, the last of the Clintons -- which title has absolutely nothing to do with the story! I will never understand why Hollywood seemed to love pointless titles.
But Potel, Earl Dwire, Lafe McKee, and the others performing here made Hollywood movies, and especially Westerns, possible. "The Last of the Clintons" is not one of the greatest of motion pictures, but it is a very good one that I recommend.
