"The Three Mesquiteers Series ... Gunsmoke Ranch (1937) ... Republic" March 19, 2008
J. Lovins (Missouri-USA)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Republic Pictures presents "GUNSMOKE RANCH" (5 May 1937) (56 mins/B&W) (Fully Restored/Dolby Digitally Remastered) -- The series was based on a series of western novels by William Colt MacDonald, which began with "Law of the .45's" in 1933 --- The Three Mesquiteers is the umbrella title for a series of 51 western B-movies released between 1936 and 1943, including 8 films starring John Wayne --- The name was a play on The Three Musketeers, and each film featured a trio of stars --- The series blended the traditional Western period with more modern elements, which was not unknown with other B-Western films and serials --- Towards the end of the series, during World War II, the trio of cowboys were opposing Nazis --- The Three Mesquiteers series was extremely popular at the time of its release --- The series was the only one of its kind to be specifically named and ranked in contemporary polls of the top western film stars --- For example, from 1937 to the end of the series in 1943, The Motion Picture Herald consistently ranked the series in its top ten, reaching a peak of 5th place in 1938, when a pre-Stagecoach John Wayne was the series lead

Our story line and plot, Our heroes Stony Brooke (Robert Livingston), Tucson Smith (Ray "Crash" Corrigan) and Lullaby Joslin (Max Terhune) members of the Three Mesquiteers are up to their eyeballs in water --- The story has the 'Mesquiteers' running across a new town that is being built to help out some settlers who have been displaced by a flood. The trio start to suspect that something might not be what it seems, so they stick around to look into things, and the action proceeds from there, with some occasional humor (much of it from Max Terhune) --- Flagg (Kenneth Harlan) is relocating flood victims to Gunsmoke Ranch --- The Three Mesquiteers know Flagg to be a crook and try to warn them --- They ignore the warning and improve the land only to find that it has been condemned for a new dam --- Actual newsreel footage of the previous years' floods adds a veneer of credibility to Gunsmoke Ranch.
