Duke strikes oil...., 19 August 2000
Author: gazzo-2 from United States

Yer basic patriotic Western, made in WWII days, John Wayne is out Wildcatting in the old days, runs into corrupt rivals and fights over blonde Martha Scott with Albert Dekker and company...Gabby Hayes does his patented Walter Brennan knockoff and you get to see the standard Yakima Canutt stage and horse stunts along the way. Decent time filler, pretty much the type of thing you have seen a 100 times before, nothing special.

**1/2 outta ****
