3/10
Great Wipes
17 June 2018
SPOILER WARNING: No such scene as described in the title appears in this movie (probably just as well considering the speculation it might have prompted!); which sums up the casual attitude the whole film takes to sustaining a plausible narrative.

A fresh-faced young Tex Ritter improbably claims to be a geologist while going undercover to track down dapper gang boss Forrest Stanley, who shocks even his henchman when he shoots a boy scout in the back, but otherwise does a pretty sloppy job as an arch-villain. Tex likewise carelessly drops a vital letter in the street enabling Stanley to pick it up and examine it.

Considering the zero budget this film must have had, it doesn't stint on frequent elegant optical wipes of the sort that I wish modern filmmakers would rediscover.
