Tex Ritter Goes To War
24 September 2009 | by (The Lonesome Prairie) – See all my reviews

Gangsters Of The Frontier comes barreling out of the gate with a raucous opening sequence where the formally deposed Kern gang comes riding back into the town of Red Rock, flooding the streets with pistol shooting desperadoes in an attempt to force the townspeople into working their gold mine for free!

Tex Ritter, the man who busted up the gang years earlier and Dave O'Brien lead the resistance against the outlaws in this entertaining entry in Producers Releasing Corporation's Texas Rangers series.

Tex's great patriotic speech about tyranny and freedom makes one realize that this isn't just another Saturday matinée B-western but a two-fisted World War Two allegory with the Kern gang as the Germans making a comeback after the first World War and Tex representing the good old USA, back again to clean things up!

This is fast paced and action packed, with some great tunes by Tex Ritter and a (literal) scenery smashing climax!
