Featured review
Rose Marie ripoff
An outfit called Conn Pictures got Kermit Maynard to star in this Northwestern which is a poverty row Rose Marie. Earlier in 1936 the MacDonald/Eddy classic was released by MGM and singing Mounties got their vogue. Not that Kermit Maynard sung a lot and if he wasn't dubbed it wasn't with the caliber of Nelson Eddy. But we did learn that Mounties do have pillow fights in the barracks.
Harry Worth plays two roles, a public enemy from New York who is on the lam and sees in a New York newspaper that his lookalike who is a mystery writer is going to stay in his cabin in the Canadian woods. So he beats it up to Canada from New York and kidnaps him and takes his place with a false beard for disguise. Why he doesn't kill him God only knows among other questions.
Paul Fix who also took on the lam to Canada meets up with an old jail house buddy Julian Rivero who is presumably a Meti though he says he was born in New York, not too many of those around. They also need a place for a hideout and a partnership is born. For the rest of the film let's say the partnership doesn't work out.
This film is bad, but it's also kind of goofy in its own way. On that level it might be enjoyed.
