ROLLIN' PLAINS

Cinemavixion Review

In the rugged landscape of the West, "Rollin' Plains" delivers a classic tale of conflict and deception. Directed by Albert Herman, this 1938 Western stars the iconic Tex Ritter as Ranger Tex Lawrence. The narrative plunges into a heated feud between cattlemen and sheepmen, with Trigger Gargan identified as the primary agitator. However, the true mastermind is revealed to be the seemingly respectable townsman, Barrow, who secretly aids Gargan's gang by feeding them intelligence on the Ranger's movements. Ritter, alongside notable performances from Karl Hackett and the equine star White Flash, anchors the film with his signature stoicism. While the film may not boast extensive awards, its straightforward plot and Western tropes offer a solid viewing experience for fans of the genre. The film's runtime of 57 minutes ensures a brisk pace, making it an efficient exploration of frontier justice and hidden motives.
