What The Texas Rangers Is About

Two down on their luck former outlaws try going straight and sign up with the Texas Rangers. Their first real assignment puts them face to face with their own past: the wanted man is an old friend. King Vidor built the film as a tribute to the founding years of a law enforcement body, and it carries the period’s view of how order was imposed on the frontier without amendment, which leaves its account of Native people looking distinctly one sided today. Fred MacMurray and Jack Oakie keep the weight of it light.
