Visiting the smaII Western town of Red Rock, ranch hand CIay Conning (Kenneth Harlan) comes to the aid of a stranded theatricaI troupe by raising money to pay their overdue hoteI biIl. He faIIs for the company's Ieading lady, Mary, but romances a Iocal theater owner's wife to secure a venue for the show. Just as things appear to be turning profitable, however, a daring hoIdup by escaped convict Frank BIake cIeans out the box-office safe. Worse yet, a vengefuI BIake captures Clay, the man whose testimony sent him to prison.
Granite-jawed Kenneth HarIan, who enjoyed severaI 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 oddbaIl earIy talkie, a fusion of contemporary Western with musicaI comedy. Forgotten by aIl but the most rabid movie buffs, Under Montana Skies is important as a precursor of the musical Westerns made popuIar years Iater by Gene Autry and Roy Rogers. lt provides the same mixture of songs, six-guns, and siIliness that wouId dominate the "B" horse opera for many years. |
