Above average western

Wild Bill Hickok (Bill Elliott) and Cannonball (Dub Taylor) help two young people in love (Mary Daily and Stanley Brown) and bring the murderer (Kenneth MacDonald) of Cannonball's father to justice.A novel plotline and solid supporting performances elevate this B-grade western directed by Lambert Hilyar above the average shoot 'em up, though there is not much shoot 'em up. There's some engaging drama in the first half and in the latter half it switches to a court room drama, which is a highlight. Eddie Waller is hilarious as the judge. The way he berates the prosecutor. Dub Taylor as a rifle packing Cannonball is hilarious too ( especially when he tries to climb out of the Stagecoach with his rifle getting stuck in the door way). The villains are quite grimy and menacing. You really feel for Marsha, who is in danger if she marries main bad guy Jessup. Jessup tries to blackmail Marsha (Mary Daily) into marrying him so she can't testify as a witness against him. Her family - greedy ones - support his plan.

The only bad thing about this Wild Bill western is the title

Bill Elliott got his "Wild Bill" from playing Wild Bill Hickok in an above average series of westerns for Columbia that began with a serial. This is one in the series which featured Cannonball Taylor as his sidekick. Bill Elliott was not a singing cowboy. So Cannonball, a very talented comedian and musician, added the musical entertainment by singing and playing his squeeze-box accordion. Although the title of Saturday matinée cowboy films seldom matched anything remotely related to the script, the title of this entry is almost surrealistic. The acting is good with standout performances by the two Crawley sons and my Eddie Waller (later Nugget Clark in the Rocky Lane westerns of the early 50's) as Judge Plunkett. If we had more Judges like Plunkett today, our criminal justice system would not be in such judicial chaos. I especially like the line he uses when summoning the first two rows of men as jurors, "Come forth and be the jury if you're not drunk or half-witted," or some words to that effect. Tom Moray, who played Hi Crawley, only made a few movies. Do any readers know why this was? Ditto for Mary Daily, who played Marsha Crowley. This was one of two movies she made in 1941, the only two movies she ever made. If you're a fan of the Saturday matinée cowboy genre, you should enjoy this movie.
