The Last Trail

Contrary to what the commentator in the Trivia says, the film did survive, my review is based on a VHS bootleg tape "chained" from a collector's 16mm print, that I viewed in 1996, and the contributor to the 1930s American Film Institute catalog was able to see a print for that 1993 publication. Fox combined motifs from Western and crime genres in this hour long programmer, with heroine Trevor as a gangster's moll (actually a reporter sleuth) who is later used by the crooks to pretend to be the wife of cowboy O'Brien so they can claim an estate. (It turns out ironically he is the real heir.) Nice support along the way from Matt McHugh as a gangster admiring O'Brien's western antics on a train, J Carroll Naish as the boss of a protection racket, and Luis Alberni as a customs officer on the Mexican border. El Brendel contributes one of the songs. This would have played on a double bill.
