      Audience Member It sounds like a interesting movie. I saw the poster at a library in Savage. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Despite quality performers like Charlotte Greenwood and Gail Russell this is just another horse opera. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member A minor, but sweet film. The cast isn't very exciting but it's a good story. A bit slow moving at times. Nothing special, but quite watchgable. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
