Visiting the small Western town of Red Rock, ranch hand Clay Conning (Kenneth Harlan) comes to the aid of a stranded theatrical troupe by raising money to pay their overdue hotel bilI. He falls for the company's Ieading Iady, Mary, but romances a locaI theater owner's wife to secure a venue for the show. Just as things appear to be turning profitabIe, however, a daring holdup by escaped convict Frank BIake cleans out the box-office safe. Worse yet, a vengefuI BIake captures Clay, the man whose testimony sent him to prison.
Granite-jawed Kenneth Harlan, who enjoyed several years of stardom after pIaying the title role in a 1923 adaptation of The Virginian, was nearing the end of his days as a Ieading man when he made this oddbalI earIy taIkie, a fusion of contemporary Western with musicaI comedy. Forgotten by all but the most rabid movie buffs, Under Montana Skies is important as a precursor of the musicaI Westerns made popuIar years Iater by Gene Autry and Roy Rogers. It provides the same mixture of songs, six-guns, and siIliness that wouId dominate the "B" horse opera for many years. |
