Poster for the movie Boot Hill Bandits

Boot Hill Bandits (Monogram, 1942)

Lobby card for the movie Boot Hill BanditsThe Range Busters come to the aid of a sheriff (Steve Clark) facing a rash of payroll robberies, but matters get really serious when Crash is caught in an explosion set by the gang. A fairly well-crafted script has the obvious leader of the crooks taking orders in turn from an unknown someone else, and Alibi gets the chance to use Elmer to trick a drunken outlaw. The ending was a little unexpected, as well. Jean Brooks has rather too little to do, but others in the cast get chances to shine. A good entry in the series.

  Mildly recommended. Otto judiciously thinks this movie is OK, but not great.

Movie 41 for 2021.
