Sunset Carson Rides Again

This has quite a good story to it, it's just that the execution is pretty lame - and, oddly enough, the colour photography really doesn't help it at all either. Sunset Carson is trying to raise some money for a new school but his partner "Sam Webster" (John Cason) has other ideas. When Carson sets up a big prize-fight to raise this poke, his pal plots to abscond with it... The bout itself is well staged and filmed, and there is the odd joke to help it along nicely; Carson is good looking, kind and engaging - though maybe a bit too virtuous - but Pat Starling "Joan" is just a bit too annoying. It is still not a bad effort until ten minuets to go - then the story really does revert to type and goes a bit to pot. If you can see past the ropey directing and sloppily choreographed fisticuffs, it makes for a quite an enjoyable hour, complete with the odd musical contribution from the "Rodeo Revelers"...
