They just don't make mountie movies like they used to ...
dane-701 November 2014
It's difficult not to hear "I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK ..." An utterly fantastic and bewildering assortment of a pipe-puffing Brits, Irishmen, red-blooded drawling Americans, and other unlocalized types and accents. Blessedly, there's only 60 minutes of it. (Which makes it extremely difficult to reach the 10 line minimum for IMDb reviews but I'll try I swear I'll try, yes indeed I will, I will, I swear to you sergeant I will I'll try I swear I'll try, yes indeed I will, I will, I swear to you sergeant I will I'll try I swear I'll try, yes indeed I will, I will, I swear to you sergeant I will oh yes I will God save the Queen Oh Canada and all that stuff ...)

A Mountie Gets His Man -- No Matter What the Name
boblipton1 November 2014
Charles Starrett takes some time off from being a cowboy to be a mountie in this run-of-the-mill effort. Try not to pay too close attention to the IMDb credits; Starrett's character is not named "Alan Barclay" but "Alan Craig"; Finis Martin is not "Ann" but "Jean" and screenwriter J.P. McGowan, whose career went back to Kalem in 1909, plays not "Barstow" but "The Blacksmith." I have no idea where the glitch arose, but there you are.

Anyway, Charlie goes to take a look in lumbering territory where a fellow Mountie has been killed, and while the uniform and place are differemt, he still rides a horse. There are some decent outdoors shots, although most of them look like second-unit work. Other than that, it might have been a western with Starrett playing a Texas Ranger yet again.
