DVD Reviews of When the Daltons Rode
DVD Review: "When the Daltons Rode (1940) ... Randolph Scott ... Universal Pictures Classic Westerns"
Summary: 4 Stars
Universal Pictures presents "WHEN THE DALTONS RODE" (1940) (81 mins/B&W) (Dolby digitally remastered) --- Starring Randolph Scott, Kay Francis, Brian Donlevy, George Bancroft & Broderick Crawford --- Directed by George Marshall and released in February 1, 1941, our story line and film, Young lawyer Tod Jackson arrives in pioneer Kansas to visit his prosperous rancher friends the Daltons, just as the latter are in danger of losing their land to a crooked development company. When Tod tries to help them, a faked murder charge turns the Daltons into outlaws. Tod is now torn between staying loyal to his friends and upholding the law. Falling in love with Bob Dalton's former fiancée Julie, also complicates his predicament --- A rattling good story with a non-stop marathon of action in the final quarter --- The real star is Broderick Crawford who despite his New York Bronx accent, really shines here as the lead Dalton, even scene-stealing away from Brian Donlevy who takes a back seat. This film is Crawford's show, no question about it --- Enjoy the expert pacing emphasis and the humor - the lynch mob bursting into the jail to find the whole gang waiting for them, guns drawn, is classic --- take note the film also has one of the best filmings of the Yak Canutt routine of falling under a runaway coach of horses --- A class act, if you want 40s action that moves along pretty nicely, then you can't go wrong here.
Under George Marshall (Director), Stuart Anthony (Screenwriter), Lester Cole (Screenwriter), Emmet Dalton (Book Author), Jack Jungmeyer (Book Author), Harold Shumate (Screenwriter), Hal Mohr (Cinematographer), Edward A. Curtiss (Editor), Jack Otterson (Art Director), Vera West (Costume Designer) - - - - the cast includes Randolph Scott (Tom Jackson), Kay Francis (Julie King), Brian Donlevy (Grat Dalton), George Bancroft (Caleb Winters), Broderick Crawford (Bob Dalton), Stuart Erwin (Ben Dalton), Andy Devine (Ozark), Frank Albertson (Emmett Dalton), Mary Gordon (Ma Dalton), Harvey Stephens (Rigby), Edgar Dearing (Sheriff), Quen Ramsey (Wilson), Dorothy Granger (Nancy), Fay McKenzie (Hannah), Walter Soderling (Judge Swain), Mary Ainslee (Minnie), Erville Alderson (District Attorney Wade), Sally Payne (Annabella), June Wilkins (Suzy), Bob Reeves (Henchman), Russell Powell (Engineer), Pat West (Pete, the Restaurant Owner), George Guhl (Deputy in Baggage Car), John Beck (Native), Harry Cording (Sam Fleeson), Kernan Cripps (Freight Agent), Robert Dudley (Juror Pete Norris), Jack Clifford (Deputy), Edgar Buchanan (Man at Livery Stable), James C. Morton (Juror Ed Pickett), Bob McKenzie (Photographer), Dorothy Moore (Girl), Tom London (Lyncher), Lafe [Lafayette] McKee (Doctor), Walter Long (Deputies on Train) - - - - Randy Scott had a quiet gentleman nature about him which is not seen in the films of today ... Randy took his job and his responsibility to his audience very seriously --- would not settle for anything less than his best ... same was true in his personal life.

Special footnote, George Randolph Scott better known as Randolph Scott, was an American film actor whose career spanned the sound era from the late 1920s to the early 1960s ... his popularity grew in the 1940s and 1950s, appearing in such films as "Gung Ho"! (1943) and "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm" (1938); but he was especially famous for his numerous Westerns including "Virginia City" (1940) with Errol Flynn and Humphrey Bogart, "Western Union" (1941) with Robert Young and "Ride the High Country" (1962) with Joel McCrea (a coin was flipped to see whether Scott or McCrea would receive top billing, and Scott won despite having a slightly smaller role) ... his long fistfight with John Wayne in "The Spoilers" (1942) was frequently cited by critics and the press as the most thrilling ever filmed; they were fighting over Marlene Dietrich ... another smash hit film together that same year called "Pittsburgh" (1942) once again with Dietrich, Scott and Wayne --- Daniel Webster defines "Legend", as being a notable person, or the stories told about that person exploits --- well by the time Randolph Scott made his best films he had long established himself as a legend in the film industry --- they say practice makes perfect, if that is true by 1958 at 60 years of age he was the master with these oaters from the 50s ... "The Cariboo Trail" (1950), "The Nevadan" (1950), "Colt .45" (1950), "Santa Fe" (1951), "Sugarfoot" (1951), "Fort Worth" (1951), "Man in the Saddle" (1951), "Carson City" (1952), "The Man Behind the Gun" (1952), "Hangman's Knot" (1952), "Thunder over the Plains" (1953), "The Stranger Wore a Gun" (1953), "Ten Wanted Men" (1954), "Riding Shotgun" (1954), "The Bounty Hunter" (1954), "Rage at Dawn" (1955), "Tall Man Riding" (1955), "A Lawless Street" (1955), "Seven Men from Now" (1956), "Seventh Cavalry" (1956), "Decision at Sundown: (1957), "Shoot-Out at Medicine Bend" (1957), "The Tall T" (1957), "Buchanan Rides Alone" (1958), "Ride Lonesome" (1959), "Westbound" (1959), "Comanche Station" (1960) --- Scott's age seemed to matter little, they only came to see another Randolph Scott film and always got their money's worth --- Scott's films were good and getting better becoming classics --- so if you wonder "What Ever Happened To Randolph Scott", just rent or purchase one of his films and you'll see he's never left us.
