Review of Randy Rides Alone (1934) by Kevin R — 19 Jun 2016
The girl out-smarted you.
Randy is jailed and accused of a murder he didn't commit. Fortunately, one girl believes his story. He escapes from prison and falls into the camp of the men who committed the murder. He must convince the female who formerly believed him he has a plan to get the rightful men arrested for their crimes.
"You don't look like a killer.".
"I'm not.".
Harry L. Fraser, director of Broadway to Cheyenne, Rustler's Paradise, The Last of the Clintons, Ghost Town, Chained for Life, Jungle Terror, and Aces Wild, delivers Randy Rides Alone. The storyline for this picture is fairly cliché and straightforward. The action scenes were below average but I loved the soundtrack. John Wayne stars and is a bit rigid in this early work of his.
"I was afraid you wouldn't get here.".
"So was I.".
This was recommended to me via Fios so I randomly DVR'd this Wayne classic. This was a very cliché western with little going for it. There were the classic western elements, music, and feel, but little that differentiated this in the genre. I recommend skipping this unless you're a diehard western or Wayne fan.
"Lock her up. It will give her a chance to refresh her memory.".
Grade: C-.
