How many pictures do you know have something to do with assassinated President William McKinley?
This 1937 film does and it's a pretty good one at that. The McKinley character recruits Robert Taylor to go after bank robbers who have been throughout the west. The problem is that Taylor goes undercover and no one knows about this situation other than the president and Perry. (Taylor) From your history, you know that Sept. 1901 is coming and that McKinley will ultimately succumb to an assassin's bullet. You just know that Taylor will be accused when he successfully infiltrates the Brian Donlevy-Victor McLaglen gang.
As dance hall queen, Barbara Stanwyck shines here. Naturally, we have the excitement of the stay of the execution for the Taylor character.
The scene where President Roosevelt utters his famous Speak Softly statement is ridiculous at best.
