  • The Lawless Frontier is a 1934 American Western film directed by Robert N. Bradbury
    and starring John Wayne, Shelia Terry, George "Gabby" Hayes, and Earl Dwine.


    I have to be fair, and say, I am biased towards, these Lone Star films.
    I enjoy all of them, for all their whirlwind, few days, low budget filming,
    they are a joy, and fun to watch.


    In this Lone Star oater, Duke plays another John, Tobin, this time,
    on the trail of a criminal called Zanti, played by the perennial Monogram regular Earl Dwire,
    who was a friend of the producer Paul Malvern, so he was in nearly all of them.
    Duke was getting more and more confident, and mature, as the series progressed.
    In this one, there is a great scene, where in the course of events,
    he rides a piece of wood, down a storm drain!!
    Once again Duke was singing, well dubbed!! with a guitar!!!
    It seemed to take the producer a long time, before the penny dropped,
    and this was....well!!! not such a good idea.


    However, value for money, goof fights and stunts,
    and with Gabby on board, you couldn't go wrong

  • Another Lone Star movie directed by Robert Bradbury. Fast paced at 50 minutes and with the benefit of Gabby Hayes in the cast. There is also quite a bit of stuntwork which I suspect is Yakima Cannutt. Print on 22nd Century DVD varies in quality in places and is generally a bit soft compared to other releases I have seen. Not a bad movie and worth watching.

  • Watched this movie today, I think my copy was a little bit " ropey " in parts and the sound was a bit off, but it was watchable...

    Interesting gun trick with the string!!! A young Duke looking well....young, eager and willing !!! Slowly making my way through more of these Lone Star movies....marks out of ten..... six.
