FIGHTING WESTERNER

Cinemavixion Review

Charles Barton's "Fighting Westerner" (1935) presents a classic tale of avarice and murder set against the backdrop of a valuable radium mine. The narrative follows a determined mining engineer tasked with unmasking a killer who is systematically eliminating the heirs to the fortune. As the body count rises, the engineer must not only identify the culprit but also exonerate his wrongly accused cousin. The film features a compelling cast, including Randolph Scott, Charles 'Chic' Sale, and Mrs. Leslie Carter, who navigate the treacherous landscape of greed and suspicion. The plot, rich with Western tropes and a whodunit structure, keeps viewers engaged as the mystery of the mine unfolds.
