Under the Tonto Rim (1947)

This is the first Tim Holt "B" western I've watched, & it was quite good. It had lots of action & was more "grown-up" than the Roy Rogers & Gene Autry movies. There was a silly sidekick (why Richard Martin was often cast as a Spanish speaking character, I'll never know; his phony accent is so far from accurate that it's distracting), but thankfully, no songs to slow down the action.

This is the first Tim Holt "B" western I've watched, & it was quite good. It had lots of action & was more "grown-up" than the Roy Rogers & Gene Autry movies. There was a silly sidekick (why Richard Martin was often cast as a Spanish speaking character, I'll never know; his phony accent is so far from accurate that it's distracting), but thankfully, no songs to slow down the action. The acting was solid all around, & even though the plot was not striking, it was well-done. Good fight scenes, good gunplay, & a tough seniorita (played by Carol Forman) made for a solid old fashioned western. I rate it 7/10.
