Featured review
After seeing this one, I could see why Ken Maynard was a second or third-tier cowboy star.
If you get a chance, you might want to read what IMDB's biography and trivia say about Ken Maynard. Although he starred in quite a few B-westerns for some tiny studios, he wasn't much of a human being. Despite this, my review isn't about his life or the way he treated others but for "Whislin' Dan", a movie from Amity Pictures that demonstrates by Maynard never became a top-tier western star.
When the story begins, Dan and his partner have just completed a successful cattle drive and they just got paid. But they owe the nasty Judge the money and he soon takes it...after threating to arrest them. Soon after, however, a gang run by the dreaded Karloff (not Boris...the guy's name is Karloff in the film) kidnap Dan's partner and threaten to kill him unless Dan brings them $5000! So Dan goes to see the Judge to explain the situation...and the man couldn't care less if he's killed! In desperation, Dan pulls out his gun and takes back the money...only to arrive AFTER his friend has been murdered. He then returns the money to the Judge...and the nasty old Judge insists that the sheriff arrest Dan! What's next? See the film.
While the summary of the first portion of the film looks interesting as you read, it just isn't. Maynard's performance is sluggish and uninteresting and the film just isn't made very well nor keeps your interest. In fact, I kept finding myself falling asleep as I watched, which at least means it's good as an antidote for insomnia!
