Oath of Vengeance (1944) DVD [Remastered Edition]

It"s amazing how director Sam Newfield managed to pack so much into westerns that often lasted less than an hour – intense drama, romance, intrigue and above all side-splitting humor! This thrilling vintage western "Oath of Vengeance" has all these ingredients and more. There are no surprises as far as the cast is concerned – Newman sticks to the time-tested duo of ruggedly handsome Buster Crabbe and raucous Al ‘ Fuzzy’ St. John as the good guys and balances it wonderfully well with Jack Ingram and Charles King playing the bad guys. Predictably the good guys win, but not without the customary plotting, mud slinging, fist cuffing, bad-mouthing and gun slinging. Perhaps what has been used sparingly in this episode is romance, with audiences being treated to a mere hint of amorous sentiments towards the end. The story is about bad guy Steve Kinney, who wants the entire valley to himself and sets out to achieve this by pitting the farmers against the ranchers. Naturally, good guy Billy Carson doesn’t quite like this idea and sets out to square things up. When the smoke clears, we have the farmers and ranchers rejoicing and hailing Billy as a hero. Even the pretty Dale Kirby’s heart melts, but its too late – the peacemaker has decided to move on! Experience this thrilling vintage western from the mid ‘40s, which will have you on pins and needles one moment and holding your sides with uncontrolled laughter in the next!
