Dawn on the Great Divide

This couldn't have been a better swan song for western great Buck Jones. Dawn is a great story with a magnificent cast. While Rough Rider Tim McCoy is doing his patriotic duty in WWII, Rex Bell is filling is nicely as the undercover agent posing as the town gambler. Beaver Lake is run by Hollywood's favorite villain Harry Woods and his brother Judge John Corkle (Robert Frazer) is on the wagon train coming to solidify the crime cartel. Of course Raymond Hatton as Sandy Hopkins as the best sidekick ever gives Buck and Rex all the help they can hope for. Matinee idol Betty Blythe shows why she was so popular with a great performance as the judgmental busy body Elmira Corkle. A well written story with plenty of drama and action with a who's who of henchmen and stuntmen.
