Brand of Fear (1949)
6/10
another average western...
20 December 2022
Jimmy wakely is... jimmy wakely, as he was in so many of his films. The singing cowboy, in gene autry, roy rogers fashion. A fun version of rainbow over range, with some good guitar work, near the beginning. When anne, the new school teacher arrives, the town bullies act up. Before the bad guy croaks, he spins a yarn about marshal flint being wanted for murder. And that the new school marm is actually flint's daughter. That part is true, but nobody knows that. The teacher is played by gail davis; she was annie oakley, in ... the annie oakley show. And had worked extensively with gene autry. She only has a couple lines in this one. So the crooks rob a bank, and try to blackmail the marshal into helping them, but with the bad guys numbers thinning quickly, how far can they get? It's a very typical western. Nothing really new to see here. Directed by oliver drake. A shortie from monogram, at 56 minutes.
