      Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews This Mesquiteer western looks like all the others except for the airplanes. Rated: C+ May 5, 2021 Full Review Jeffrey M. Anderson Combustible Celluloid This is a movie only for John Wayne completists and Louise Brooks completists, and if you're both at the same time, it's a great day for you.

      Bill T A fun John Wayne Mesquiteers movie. The Mesquiteers get involved in a airline service that will service towns transporting money when the bus service keeps getting held up. Here's a secret, the boss of the bus company is in on the hold ups! So he doesnt want anything to do with the planes, and so the bus people try everything in their power to sabotage those magnificent men in their flying machines. Quite a unique script for sure! Entertaining for an hour. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/13/23 Full Review Audience Member I originally purchased the Blu-ray only to look at Louise Brooks, quite surprised, this is a good movie. Interesting to see John Wayne so young. Louise Brooks is an excellent actress in this film. Sadly, no one burned bridges better than Louise Brooks did. Excellent movie. Happy to have those in my 3000 DVD/Blu-ray collection. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Not really interested but obliged to give it a look. Generously awarding half a Star. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Overland Stage Raiders marks the convergence of two great performers, one on her way out of film, the other about to begin the most successful run in film history--The Flying Mesquiteers!! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Outstanding movie John Wayne is my family favorite actor Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
