Subject: Corriganville Movie Ranch
Subject: Corriganville Movie Ranch
Ray Corrigan not only starred in this film but all of the exterior scenes were shot at his sprawling movie ranch in Simi Valley.
Viewers will recognize the same rock formations, winding dirt roads, oak forests, even a small lake with a waterfall (numerous horses carried stunt men over it) shown in many other films. The lake also had a glassed room to shoot underwater scenes without the camera/crew getting wet.
The structures actually housed workshops, wardrobe rooms, make-up rooms, storage, even a cafeteria and restrooms for the cast and crew. Interior scenes were shot in sound studios in the Hollywood area.
Today, about 160 acres of Corriganville Movie Ranch are a park in the city of Simi Valley, CA.

Subject: Frontier "justice"
Review: A gang of highwaymen operating near Stony Creek are holding up the Wells Fargo coach line when it comes into town. It seems apparent from the first that these are inside jobs, because the robberies happen whenever the stage is carrying a shipment of cash. A WF attorney hires the Range Busters to investigate. Traveling along with the attorney is a woman who is on her way to visit her brother, Ernie, at the Diamond-W ranch, which is near Stony Creek.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch (I've always wanted to say that), Ernie, who owns joint interest in the Diamond-W, discovers that his partner and co-owner is a member of the gang. Instead of quietly slipping away and informing the sheriff, who is desperately trying to break the gang, Ernie confronts his partner, gets in a fight, and shoots him dead. Ernie then rides on his dead partner's horse and with his dead partner's saddlebags stuffed full of stolen money to go inform the sheriff, when he meets the sheriff and posse on their way to his ranch. Though he explains everything, they recognize the horse as one used in the last holdup and immediately assume that Ernie is a gang member. The sheriff wants to arrest and prosecute him, while his posse want to lynch Ernie on the spot. Ernie has to run for it until the Range Busters can clear him. Before they can do that, though, the gang gloms onto him and forces him to pose as their gang leader at another holdup. Just to make sure that he is recognized, they don't give him a bandanna to wear over his face.
Frontier "justice"? The upstanding sheriff of Stony Creek and his deputies really put the moron in oxymoron. Along with big dumb Ernie and his even bigger mouth, most of the characters in this film demonstrate that Gary Dahl definitely had something with his Pet Rocks, as surely even a rock in a paper box has more intelligence than this crew. When the story of Ernie at the latest holdup is told, the townspeople are too stupid to wonder why he alone was not wearing a mask. The Range Busters, who are only slightly more intelligent (one even remarks to another, "Well, we're as dumb as a couple of loco'd steers!"), require at least 2/3rds of the film to figure out enough to become effective. The only really smart character in this film is the gang leader.
I don't know what kind of kids we were raising in 1942, but I can't imagine that a modern kid of more than 7 or 8 years of age could possibly buy into this film. I think that anyone over that age must surely be insulted by it.
Many thanks to both the uploader and the previous reviewer for providing so much useful information to help a visitor to decide whether to spend the time to download and watch this film (NOT!!) The uploader's comment does reflect one truth, though, that the real star of these films is a…

Now we all know that the standard fare of the 'Horse Opera' or otherwise known as a "B" western was the Saturday Morning @ the Bijou crowd.... namely the neighboor broods. Ages? oh from about 8 to well, maybe 11 or so. Usually by the 6th grade imiginations had waned giving way to heavier homework & glands.
Sooooooooooo.......... the authors of these epics weren't too careful in 'paying attention to details' as it were.
What's all this leading up to? (very poor grammer but understandable)
There's Elmer propped up on what appears to be a sofa with an Indian blanket draped over it. An' what's that on the blanket? Why, it's none other than the American healing symbol of big medicine. That blanket musta've been made for a Shaman. 's matter of fact this big medicine mark was revered so that that it was often worn OVER the temples while being hidden UNDER disk-like war bonnet decorations. It wasn't visible to anyone else but the wearer knew that it was there.
Of course I refer to what is otherwise known as a swastika. Our American Indian forefathers realized big medicine in that mark LOOOONNNNGGG before there was a Nazi party.
An when was this pichur released?
Anyone wanna bet that there were LOTS of comments to the theater manager as soon as a sharp eyed butt-in-ski saw yet another opportunity to foist a little undeserved authority?
