- Quotes
Weeks: Well, that's my hotel over there. It's usually full up, but I can take care of you now that Mr. Holly is changing his room.
Ross Grainger: Wrong. Holly isn't changing his room. He checked out.
Weeks: No, he'll be occupying the downstairs rear. You see, I'm also the Oaktown's undertaker. And having my establishment on the premises, well, it saves so many steps.
Featured review
Overland Pacific
Ross Granger is an railroad agent, going undercover as a telegrapher, looking into a series of raids by the Comanches on railroad construction near the town of Oaktown. He quickly discovers that the raids are sponsored by Del Stewart, a local businessman, and his associate Broden. Their goal is to force the railroad to run through land that they own.
Overland Pacific is a decent western with some fine fisticuffs, shoot em up action featuring Comanches vs railroaders, dry quips, friendship going sour and political machinations, however I found Jock Mahoney a little too passive when it came to investigating and not too determined. His friendship with William Bishop is explored more - speaking of which, Bishop steals the scene as the charming heel whose greed makes him murderous. Adele Jergens plays the saloon gal who still loves him, despite setting his cap for Peggy Castle. Predictably Castle falls for Mahoney - especially when she learns that Bishop was involved in her father's murder. Not a bad railroad western to settle down to enjoy. The finale is a cracker with attacking Comanches and dynamite. Good action.
