Forbidden Trails (1941)
Member Rating:  
The "Rough Riders"-Buck Jones, Tim McCoy and Raymond Hatton-are back in the saddle in Forbidden Trails. As was customary, the stars play three wildly diverse types who are apparently strangers to one another when the film begins. In this instance, Buck Roberts (Jones) is a dude gambler, Tim McCall (McCoy) is head driver for a stagecoach line, and Sandy Hopkins (Hatton) is a desert rat who's apparently in cahoots with a pair of escaped outlaws. By Reel Four, however, it is obvious that Buck, Tim and Sandy are secretly working together to thwart the villains. In the film's most exciting scene, Buck is trapped in a burning shack while a contingent of well-armed bandits block his escape. Future "Three Stooges" heroine Christine McIntyre is the leading lady on this occasion. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

    A good old western from the early days of TV cowboy westerns. I liked it alright, and have seen some of the others in the Rough Riders series starring Buck Jones and his buddies. I enjoy the old movies where the story may be simple but is the key to enjoying it, instead of nasty violence and explosions throughout just to keep your attention.

    A fine example of the traditional Saturday Afternoon horse opera--the old west portrayed in the Hollywood manner of the 20's, 30's and 40's. A good peek back in cinema history.
