The Fighting Kentuckian ★★½ 1949

Homeward bound from the Battle of New Orleans in 1814, a Kentucky rifleman lingers in a French settlement in Alabama. His romance with the daughter of a French general is blocked by the father until the American saves the community from an assault by land grabbers. Hardy as a frontiersman is well worth the view. An actionpacked, wellphotographed hit. 100m/B DVD . John Wayne, Oliver Hardy, Vera Hruba Ralston, Marie Windsor, Philip Dorn, John Howard, Hugo Haas, Grant Withers; D: George Waggner.
