trombonehead get one thing wrong represent wallace beery mexican accent be not the bad of all time . it only third bad . lafe mckee probably should have be shoot for his in some small western and the name of which i can not remember and and marlon brando and in viva zapata be the second worst . other and though and than his poor accent and berry characterization be pretty funny and although it doesn not seem to translate well from the stage to the screen . lionel barrymore be rather and i apologize for the cliché over the top and but he have some great line and characterization . ronald reagan and in an unusual loan out from warner and look great and and do a very good job a the hero . laraine day look great and too and and be mostly quite believable . tom conway be another under rat actor and and his role be rather thankless and but he look and sound very good . chris pin martin and on the other hand and be outstanding . although he nearly always be . whenever he be on screen and he draw the viewer attention . he be a great talent . in his mini bio and gary brumburgh call nydia westman adorable . that say it perfectly . she stand out in every scene she be in . perhaps the reason so many commenters here rate this film low be that it seem to start out a a serious western and and that it be really a comedy doesn not become apparent till later . i will admit it take me a while to realize it and but when i find myself laugh at and especially and barrymore shoot him and other extreme comment and i finally catch on . i seriously recommend the people who do not like this to give it another chance while and anyone who hasn not see it and i urge you to do so .
