TEXAS BUDDIES

Cinemavixion Review

Robert N. Bradbury's 1932 Western, "Texas Buddies," offers a brisk, albeit familiar, adventure in the dusty trails of the American West. Starring the capable Bob Steele as Kincade, the film plunges viewers into a daring heist gone awry. When Kincade and his accomplice Blake attempt to pilfer a payroll from a forced-landing mail plane, they find themselves thwarted by opportunistic prospectors. The ensuing conflict, as detailed in the plot, sets the stage for further tension, particularly with the pilot injured and the sheriff's involvement looming. While the external data indicates a runtime of 59 minutes, aligning with a classic B-Western pacing, the local data's description focuses squarely on the inciting incident, promising a narrative of outlaws, vigilantism, and the unforgiving desert landscape. Though specific award details are absent, "Texas Buddies" stands as a representative piece of its era, likely appealing to fans of early Westerns and the rugged performances characteristic of actors like Bob Steele and the supporting cast, which includes notable figures like Francis McDonald and Nancy Drexel.
