| ♥♥♥♥♥ | POVERTY ROW KEN MAYNARD OATER! |
| PHANTOM RANCHER (1940) is from Ken Maynard's wide-waist era and is one of his last starring films in a Western series. Produced by ultra low-budget Colony Films the cheapness really shows. Bad film stock, bad stock footage inserts, bad scripting, acting and direction...just downright bad all-around!
However, Ken still has that appealing charm, that winning persona, that likable character presence that can shine above any amount of badness to be dished out. And Tarzan is always a big help as well! In this one Ken must disguise himself as the Phantom Rancher in order to secure money to be payed back to himself to prevent the foreclosure of rancher's loans. It seems all the ranchers think Ken is the one out to get them when in reality it's really ace bad-guy Ted Adams (in a suit this time) behind all the murderous scheming. Usual heavy Tom London is the lawman and usual good guy Dave O'Brien is the top hench/ heavy. Once again O'Brien (DEVIL BAT, CAPTAIN MIDNIGHT, etc.) shines in a poverty row production! He could have been a leading man in A-productions...their loss, our gain. This is certainly a good, slam-bang B-Western with likeable Ken Maynard in a Lone Ranger type role, some great baddies and some awful production values...still, fun can be had here. Pop open a beer (...err, carton of milk), pour out a bowl of nacho chips, sit back and enjoy the mysterious PHANTOM RANCHER riding at night to right all wrongs and save the valley from...himself! Enjoy. |
