RIDE OR DIE ON FORLORN RIVER

Cinemavixion Review

Charles Barton's 1937 Western, "Ride or Die on Forlorn River," plunges viewers into a classic tale of frontier justice and shifting allegiances. Starring the ever-reliable Buster Crabbe as "Nevada" and Syd Saylor as "Weary" Pierce, the film centers on their audacious hijacking of a bank robbery's proceeds from the ruthless Les Setter, played by Harvey Stephens. As they attempt to outrun Sheriff Jim Henry Warner, the narrative explores themes of survival and the moral complexities faced by outlaws in the untamed West. While the plot summary is brief, it promises a brisk pace and the kind of straightforward action that defined many of the era's popular Westerns, offering a glimpse into a pivotal moment in cinematic history.
