Trailing Trouble

Ken Maynard had a difficult time in the latter 1930's finding projects that he felt happy with and worth his time. "Trailing Trouble" is one film from that era that has a certain charm, not demanding on the viewer, and has several fun moments, occasional comic turns, and some clever ideas that stem from Ken playing two roles, one a nice guy who finds himself playing hero and the other a badman who finds the going a little tough.

The leading lady is Lona Andre, who was a much-in-demand B-movie leading lady in the 1930's, but usually in non-western roles.

Although the picture is propelled by Good vs. Evil, the film moves along smoothly and the viewer likely will come away feeling it was a gentle and quite satisfying ride.
