Movie Reviews of Drift Fence
Movie Review: Fence trouble
Summary: 4 Stars
Movie viewers familiar with 1930's serials will expect to see Larry "Buster" Crabbe as the hero in this installment in Lionsgate's Zane Grey Western Classics, but it was actually made before he bleached his hair and made his name as Flash Gordon, and features him in a secondary role. Undercover Texas Ranger Jim Travis (Tom Keene, another B-film actor with a long roster of parts in Westerns and other genres) is attending a rodeo when he meets tenderfoot Jim Traft (Benny Baker), whose uncle and namesake, having established a successful ranch in Arizona, has retired to New York City and sent his nephew West to learn the cattle business in preparation for inheriting his property. Traft, however, isn't at all sure he likes the West, and persuades Travis to take his place--a role Travis is quite willing to assume when he learns that the ranch is being plagued by rustlers headed by one Clay Jackson (Stanley Andrews), whom the Rangers have had on their list for a long time. Jackson has convinced the honest small cattlemen of the "breaks" that the proposed drift fence to be built along Traft's borders will block their cattle from needed water, and a range war is brewing. Crabbe plays "Slinger" Dunn, one of the deceived ranchers, who is better than most with a gun but proves to be an honest man once he learns the truth. Meanwhile Travis has met Slinger's sister Molly (Katherine deMille), and love blooms, though not (at first) on Molly's side. This is a B-western with all the faults and strengths of its type, but the fast action and genuine exteriors help to counterbalance the former, and if the women aren't any too attractive (not even Molly), that's probably truer to the reality than the beautiful heroines of higher-budget Westerns. It's an enjoyable movie with both humor and suspense in about equal measure.
