'The Man from Monterey' follows a captain who tries to save Mexican landowners from having their land taken, and falls in love with one's daughter.
The film is like a normal western B-film, but carries more charm than most you'll find. John Wayne's 26th credited role and a very entertaining film, this is one that everyone with a sweet spot for classic frontier-set films should see. While it is of course just a cheap film in a wide sea of a mass-produced genre, it stands out because it has fun moments. Such as when Felipe gets his revenge by breaking a guitar, or when John Wayne's character first saves Dolores.
All in all, this film is worth watching if you like this kind of stuff. Sure, it's mostly just fluffy fun, but what else can you ask for from a cheap 30's western B-movie? Some films like that can manage to be boring, but this one goes in the right direction, including all of the great action and a small touch of humor.
In conclusion, the 1933 John Wayne western B-film 'The Man From Monterey' provides good B entertainment. A solid, if low budget and small piece of entertainment.
