Above average Western

The cast brings this routine "Oater" up to watchable standards. Based on the novel by Brand "South of Rio Grande" this is the story of a youngster (Rooney) searching for his brother in the wild west. The plot is predictable and at times the director lets the action sag a bit, however, as with most of Rooney's 'transition' flicks this one is good, just to see how The Mick tries to get away from his Andy Hardy stereotype. Worth a watch.
