Days of the Pony Express, 5 July 2009

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

Another typical Republic western of this era: late 40's and early 50's. A sort of mix up between western in outdoors - sometimes locations and sometimes not - and lots of indoors sequences, with costumes, waltz, classic music scores that make you believe you're watching a film which story takes place in Vienna and not in the old West !!! You could find this kind of productions in the early 40's Universal Studios westerns. Starring Marlele Dietrich and John Wayne, for instance, and directed by George Marschall, Lewis Seiler or Ray Enright. Westerns-romances films. Not one hundred percent westerns anyway. Nor hard boiled westerns as Budd Boetticher made several years later, or even Universal westerns shot during the 50's.

About this very one, nothing special. Wild Bill Eliott is the good guy, Vera Ralston the unavoidable gal of this picture - Republic, of course - who falls for him and Don Barry the villain, all dressed in black, as you can guess.

The story is the one thousand and tenth adaptation of the Pony Express odyssey. It's quite entertaining and that's all.

But what else could we expect?
