A wonderful Western; very worthwhile

This 1935 Western serial starring Buck Jones is so good, it makes most other serials of the 1930's look weak and puny by comparison!

For one thing, just judged as a Western, this is an outstanding movie. There is a big cast, and in every episode, many of them are galloping hell for leather on horseback! Buck Jones rides his longtime favorite horse, Silver, and there are beautiful scenes of them racing along. There are good sets and lots of action. One thing I liked: there are fistfights, but they don't take up too much time and they don't feel repetitive. There is a freshness and an originality about this serial, which are very refreshing.

I have seen a lot of movies of the 1930's, but until I watched this one, in a very nice recent dvd from VCI, I had not previously seen any of these actors or actresses, which surprised me. Buck Jones's sidekick, "Jinglebob," is very entertaining. If you like Westerns, you owe it to yourself to see this one. It's a jewel.
