Republic Pictures first production, WESTWARD HO features great locations and photography for the time period. A strong performance from John Wayne, who at this time has been before the camera a little over ten years. John Wyatt(Wayne)vows to avenge the death of his rancher parents at the hands of cattle rustlers. Wyatt leads a group of vigilantes hell bent on finding the gang of outlaws. When the bad guys are rounded up, to Wyatt's surprise one of the bandits is his own long-lost brother Jim(Frank McGlynn Jr.) Its been about 73 years and this picture still holds entertainment value. Although it is a shame to watch the torturous scenes some of the horses went through. The cast also features: Glenn Strange, Jack Curtis, Hank Bell, Sheila Bromley, Jim Farley, Chuck Baldra, Yakima Canutt and Dickie Jones.
