Texas Terror (1935)

An American western directed by Robert N. Bradbury, starring John Wayne and Lucile Brown.
A sheriff thinks that he has killed his best friend and mentor in a shootout with robbers, so he quits his job. When the friend's daughter comes to town to run her father's ranch, the ex-sheriff is convinced to help her with the ranch.
Everything about this was antique. From the audio and video to the style and the pacing, it was absolutely prehistoric. This meant that I got to see a very young John Wayne. This Sheriff John looks very different from the tough old sheriff in Rio Bravo. The main characters were identifiable, but everyone else was anonymous. The plot was barely decent. The indians' voices were difficult to make out because they spoke in such a low register and so quietly. I'm rating this poor because it was from a antediluvian time before the concept of a good movie was invented.
