Featured review
Great Cattle Drive
The Texans is a very underrated movie. The cattle drive featuring 2500 Longhorns and the fire set by Comanches are outstanding, and the primary reasons to watch The Texans. As for the acting Walter Brennan (Chuckawalla) is certainly a highlight, as is Randolph Scott ( Kirk Jordan). Scott who is almost always excellent in westerns plays a Confederate soldier after the Civil War who is willing to forgive the North for the War ( just like he did in Santa Fe ( although that was a better movie)). His love interest was Joan Bennett ( Ivy) who is a much more hard core Confederate then he was. Joan is very beautiful, but not Southern in the least. The biggest problem was too many plot lines ( such as the even more radical Alan Sanford ( Robert Cummings), who is engaged to Ivy, but she drops him for Scott after he talks about joining the KKK and she realizes all he wants to do is play war. The KKK part took about 15 seconds of the movie, so it was unnecessary. They should have killed off Sanford on the cattle drive like they did with Carpetbagger Isaiah Middlebrack (Robert Barrat)). For those who are Scott and ( or) Western fans do not miss it. 8/10 stars mostly for the Cattle drive.
