Quote from The Irish Duke

I just watched this, was the prison scene missing in my version or was it a common mistake?

It seems it was missing from all releases

Great photo Larry, thanks.
I feel sure that the scenes with Duke in prison uniform
were even in the movie!

Rainbow Valley

Rainbow Valley is a 1935 American Western film released by Monogram Pictures,
written by Lindsley Parsons, directed by Robert N. Bradbury and starring John Wayne

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.

This routine oater, see Duke as John Martin, a government agent,
sent to prevent a gang, halting construction on a vital road.
Duke in a run of the mill, western, supported well,
by another regular love interest, Lucille Brown,
with Gabby, and Lafe Mc Fee, giving able support.

Another one. in the relentless schedule,

Quote

Author: Brian J. Smith from Gloucester, Ontario, Canada
A routine "B" western in the Lone Star series of westerns Wayne made in the 30's.
What sets this one apart is John Wayne as a "Singing" Cowboy.
This was the time of the beginning of the Singing Cowboy era in "B" westerns (e.g. Gene Autry).*
Wayne's voice is obviously dubbed. He sure doesn't look comfortable serenading the heroine*
or warbling a tune while riding across the prairie.
Fortunately for all concerned (especially the Duke) this experiment was quickly ended.
Anyone who wants to hear the Duke's "real" singing voice should watch the opening credits of "Cahill U.S. Marshal".
