The Gunman

The movie has the typical 1930s-1950s Monogram flavor. Simple theme, made mostly for the kiddies Saturday matinee's. Whip Wilson fits the role quite well, stern jaw, deep voice, slow moving, slow talking. When they put Wilson up on a horse they did so with style putting him up on a HUGE white horse (for effect no doubt). When you look at what the picture was meant to be it's OK...It's nice to see Phyllis Coates before she played Lois Lane to George Reeves' TV Superman. For an "oater", Coates is a pretty fair rider, too. Other charactors of note are Rand Brooks, Fuzzy Knight, Lane Bradford, and Stanford Jolley - all familar western actors of the period. This movie is probably mostly nice today for all us "ancient" persons that were kids in the 1930s, through 1950s that sat through all those exciting, nail biting, Satuday morning movie "thrillers" watching so intently. Have a heart. Watch the picture from the point in time it was meant to be.
