Copyright 14 December 1937 by Columbia Pictures Corp. New York opening at the Central on a double bill with Universal's Behind the Mike: 28 January 1938. U.S. release: December 1937. Australian release: 6 April 1939. 6 reels. 56 minutes.
COMMENT: With a large cast like this, Outlaws of the Prairie would certainly have to rate highly. And that it does. Not only because of its first-rate cast - including two delightful villains in the persons of thick-lipped Dick Curtis and deep-voiced Norman Willis - but because it provides plenty of action, slickly staged and directed. Even the musical interludes are thoroughly pleasant and very entertaining!
And for cliché collectors, the script offers some really juicy gems: "Killing's too good for them!" snarls the William Lupton character played by Norman Willis.
