Joseph Kane was used to this kind of westerns, the trademark of Republic pictures, and also Paramount, using old fashioned schemes and characters. There is nothing exceptional here, everything is predictable but never boring. Wild Bill Elliot is as usual, boring but quite good, John Caroll also at his place, and Vera Ralston is anything but unavoidable in a Republic studio production; her husband was no one else than Herbert J Yates, president executive of the studio. So this western is at least not a music hall western, a sort of westerns taking place mostly indoors, in dancing halls, in San Francisco, instead of rocky mountains, forests, deserts or valleys as so many Republic westerns were. For western addicts only, old fashioned fans. Albert Dekker excellent as the villain, and George Gabby Hayes exquisite, as usual.
