This colorful western is a terrific tribute to the California forests, as also was, but at a lesser scale, Jospeh Kane's TIMBERJACK, starring Sterling Hayden. But this Warner Bros picture is of course, I repeat, far far better. We can appreciate here the quality, the trademark of Warner studios, despite the absence of the likes of Errol Flynn or Ann Sheridan. But the settings, scenery, and the overall atmospere compensate totally the lesser cast. And the action scenes are overwhelming, jaw dropping, even for today's audiences. Don't forget it was made in the late thirties. If you crave to those magical sequioas in Redwoods National park, don't miss this movie.
