Review of Wyoming

Wyoming (1940)
6/10
Wallace Beery western
2 November 2023
After the Civil War, former Confederate soldier 'Reb' Harkness (Wallace Beery) and his sidekick Pete are train robbers. They barely get away with their latest robbery. Pete steals the money and horse, and leaves Reb behind. Reb encounters fellow Confederate Dave Kincaid who saves him from the pursuing Union soldiers. He joins Dave on his journey to Wyoming where his daughter Lucy Kincaid (Ann Rutherford) lives. Dave is murdered by cattle rustlers and Reb intends to return the favor. General Custer keeps showing up.

I like Wallace Beery. He has so much charisma and presence. On the other hand, Dave needs more as the instigating character. He's a bit of a nothing personality. I'm going with the revenge plot when out of nowhere, General Custer shows up. Reb and him do have a fun initial meeting but he's more a distracting name. I kept waiting for Reb to take out this gang, but the movie has a lot of filler. All in all, I still really like Beery and that helps.
