Movie Reviews of Winners of the West
Movie Review: "The King of B-Westerns & Serials...VCI Entertainment ~ Winners of the West (1940)"
Summary: 5 Stars
VCI Entertainment and Universal Pictures present "Winners of the West" (1940) (digitally remastered), 13 Chapters of vintage serial loaded with action sequences featuring heroes and villains Dick Foran, James Craig, Harry Woods, Roy Barcroft and Charles Stevens...there is a great deal of entertainment here for the cliffhanger fans out there...large scale Indian attacks and constant raids by badmen trying to steal locomotives from the railroad...loaded with non-stop action and boasts a cast of thousands...as always life threatening chapters with overturned wagons and railroad explosions
Under director's Ford Beebe and Ray Taylor with screenplay by Charles R. Condon, George H Plympton and Basil Dickey...the cast include Dick Foran (Jeff Ramsay), Anne Nagel (Claire Hartford ), James Craig (Jim Jackson), Tom Fadden (Tex Houston ), Harry Woods (King Carter - boss & leader), Charles Stevens (Snakeye ), Roy Barcroft (Logan - henchman), Edmund Cobb (Maddox - henchman), Edward Keane (John Hartford)...another great serial provided by Universal Pictures during their heyday in the early '40s...John Hartford is in charge of building a railroad heading west and to stop him from going through his town of Blackhawk is King Carter...his henchman Snakeye is stirring up the Indians into attacking the railroad crew. in every direction...now enters our hero Jeff Ramsay and his sidekicks Tex Houston and Jim Jackson who head the crew and keep them out of Harem's way...can Carter along with Snakeye stir up the local Indian tribe under Chief War Eagle succeed in constantly raiding the railroad camp and stop the railroad from coming through...will Claire Hartford be kidnapped and possibly killed....can the trio Foran, Fadden and Craig fight their way clear of Carter's gang of thugs and save the save the day...don't miss one single episode that will keep you thrilled until the next chapter the following week.
B-Western fans keep a look out for old time players the meanest looking gang of bad guys from the stables of Hollywood with their leader Harry Woods (the best of the "B" Western heavies) and the grandson of Geronimo, famous Apache Chief actor Charlie Stevens, Trevor Bardette, Edmond Cobb, Roy Barcroft, Edgar Edwards, Bud Osborne and Tom London as henchmen...and briefly you can catch a glance of Bob Kortman, Ed Cassidy, Kermit Maynard, Bud Osborne and Iron Eyes Cody...seems almost like a class reunion of B-Western alumni...can't make a good Western without those veterans.
