THE TEST

Cinemavixion Review

Bernard B. Ray's 1935 Western, "The Test," offers a charming adventure centered around the canine hero, Rin Tin Tin Jr. The film, running at a brisk 59 minutes, presents a classic tale of loyalty and pursuit. Rin Tin Tin Jr. is tasked with guarding his master's valuable furs, only for them to be stolen while he is momentarily distracted. What follows is a determined chase as the intrepid Rin Tin Tin Jr. sets out to recover the stolen goods and bring the culprits to justice. While the film may not boast extensive awards or critical accolades, its straightforward narrative and the undeniable appeal of its canine star make it an engaging watch for fans of classic animal-centric Westerns. The supporting cast, including Grant Withers and Grace Ford, effectively rounds out this earnest production from the Golden Age of Hollywood.
