      Logan M A light experience but a fun time. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/11/23 Full Review william d I'm a huge John Wayne fan, but I'm not one of those who likes every film he's in. And I'll admit it, when The Duke is the best actor in the bunch by a country mile you know you've got a stinker on your hands. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member ok B movie western from republic studios Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Young John Wayne bang, bang, shoot 'em up with Duke the very smart horse. Best quote: "I've a wild scheme in mind, that just might work!" Imagine the rest. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 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
