Winds of the Wasteland
1936 Starring John Wayne, Phyllis Fraser, Lew Kelly, Douglas Cosgrove Not Rated 61 Minutes
The arrival of the telegraph put Pony Express riders like John Blair and his pal Smoky out of work. A race will decide whether they or stageline owner Drake get the government mail contract.
Rating:7/10 This is one of John Wayne's better movies from the 1930's. The story was pretty good in which many hundreds of movies took made similar movies. I'm not saying that this is original, but it is still one of the earlier movies with this kind of story. John Wayne, Lew Kelly and the rest of the cast did a good job. The stage race was pretty climatic and pretty realistic as well. Not a bad little movie if you are lookinf for early John Wayne
