Duke kickstarts Republic with tremendous success
20 July 2020
Great direction by Robert Bradbury with legendary Duke and Yak with his great troupe of stuntmen. An interesting prologue of the young Wyatt boys being separated after their parents were killed. Dickie Jones, aka Buffalo Bill Jr, Glenn Strange, Jack Curtis, and Sheila Bromley give outstanding performances. Frank McGlynn Jr., who left us too soon gives an impassioned performance as the brother on the wrong side of the law. In the first Republic film there's none of what would become John Wayne's trademark idiolect, nonetheless he performs to perfection with a terrific cast.
