Audience Member Love this oldie, but goodie, James Welch, Henderson, Arkansas, June 24, 2023 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Run of the Mill. But... its the Duke so why not. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Wasn't quite sure what the hell was going on through most of the movie. But really didn't care either. And why is it called "Blue Steel"? Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review kevin w Made in 1934 here is a standard action oater from those glory days in Hollywood, with plenty of rootin', tootin' shooting and plenty of riding across open prairies surrounded by mountainous plateaus to save the day. Gabby Hayes admirably seconds the action. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Bad B movie, but it's still John Wayne. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member A good B-western. Entertaining enough. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews
