IMO a very good movie which surprised me a lot. It's started so light-weighted with good humour and then the movie is getting darker. It's fun to watch John Wayne and Gabby Hayes as Barber/Dentist. There are also some good lines in Dark Command and well photographed action scenes. Walter Pidgeon is doing a fine job as Teacher who became a Guerilla Leader. His villain role was more interesting than the Marshal character of Duke. Good Movie and as posted before it's a pity that Raoul Walsh and John Wayne made only two Movies together.

I watched it again tonight (for probably the 7th or 8th time) and once again, enjoyed it as an affirmation of Duke's coming super-stardom. For a semi-B movie, it's pretty darned good. I always enjoyed seeing Duke and Gabby, or Duke and Claire, in movies together.
I also liked old Marjorie Main (who played Walter Pidgeon's mother) in this film. My favorite role for Ms. Main, though, was in "Friendly Persuasion" with Gary Cooper. -
