Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

Wayne plays an idealistic young lawyer whose plans to clean up a rootin'-tootin' frontier town are in jeopardy as soon as he falls for alluring Southern belle Munson, whose father runs the local organised crime racket. Plodding second feature (co-scripted by Guy Endore) from German-born director Vorhaus who graduated (if that's the word) from British quota quickies to programmers like this at Republic Pictures. After Stagecoach, the Duke deserved better.
