Range Beyond the Blue (MOD) (BluRay Movie) [Blu-ray]

Singing western starring Eddie Dean. "With plenty of gunplay, a fair plot and okay songs spotted in the right places, 'Range Beyond the Blue' emerges as a better-than-average oatuner in the Eddie Dean series. Cayuse classic should find acceptance in most action situations. Still operating as undercover investigators, Eddie Dean and pardner, Roscoe Ates, foil a stagecoach holdup on a line owned and operated by Helen Mowery. Stage's gold shipments ostensibly are the loot sought by the road agents, but Dean suspects something else is behind the frequent attacks. Suspense built up by scripter Patricia Harper should hold an audience even though the film's denouement is rather obvious. Climax is reached with the law's rout of the bandits, led by Bob Duncan. Latter's a tool of Ted Adams, prexy of the local bank, who seeks to gain control of Miss Mowery's stage line. In the melee between the outlaws and a posse headed by Dean and Ates, there's plenty of six-shootin' before the badmen are rounded up and Adams bites the dust. Thesping, direction and camera are relatively good in view of the low budget." (Variety, March 12, 1947)
