The locale is slightly different in the
Charles Starrett western Call of the Rockies, but the familiar Starrett formula remains the same. Starrett plays Clint Buckley, who defends female rancher Ann Bradford (
Iris Meredith) against mortgage-holding villain Matt Stark (
Dick Curtis). The bad guy retaliates by framing Clint for murder, but our hero sets things right in a bone-shattering fistic battle royal. Donald "Slim" Grayson and the Sons of the Pioneers wander in and out of the action to render a trio of pleasant sagebrush ballads. In addition to
Iris Meredith and
Dick Curtis, Call of the Rockies features such Starrett-series perennials as Edward LeSaint,
Edmund Cobb, and
George Cheseboro. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
