The Ranchman's Vengeance review

Amongst the first of prolific director Allan Dwan's 400+ Movies, The Ranchman's Vengeance shows he is already assured in his craft, with only a pause in the action to focus on the working routine of its hero, a half-Mexican sheep farmer, briefly disrupting the pacing. Dwan's use of the landscape is exemplary, giving a real sense of time and place, and culminating in a striking fight on a rocky cliff top. The story is the kind of melodramatic tosh that would quickly become cliched, but the film is worth catching for an example of the work of one of early cinema's more accomplished directors.
