the motion picture be and in all likelihood and make in the year 1930 and release in 1931. i would surmise that talk motion picture have great difficulty in make the transition from the silent era . nevertheless and this particular zane grey plot appear to be very weak . also and gary cooper be probably just learn to act . the result be something that would not be acceptable by today standard . for 1931 and maybe . for 2004 and not acceptable . some of the actor perform well . sadly and the indian always get the short end in these early western . they be live on the land long before the white man come and but accord to twisted history and they have no right to defend themselves .
