To be fair, this film was shot in the infancy of sound movies and its technical quality is understandably poor. Photography rates rather shabby - which I find less understandable because by then quite a few films already displayed high quality cinematography.
Dialogue also reflects the woes of early sound, and that does nothing for the standard of acting, which I found disappointing.
Only Huston delivers as the villainous Trampas, a word which significantly means "traps" in Spanish. The man is devious and dangerous, darn it!
The very young Gary Cooper, later to become one of Hollywood's most glittering names, does his best but cannot save this mediocre flick.
