George goes postal
18 October 2018
George O'Brien stars in this western with a familiar plot. He's working undercover as a postal inspector to find out who's behind a gang of robbers and also help decide who gets a mail contract. Just the casting will tell you that perennial western villain Roy Barcroft has to be the bad guy. And it's our heroine Virginia Vale who has the other stagecoach line.

I will say Barcroft has a few rackets going, run out of his saloon. Nice to diversify.

As in all these westerns there is a stagecoach race as the climax. Guess who wins.

Hobart Cavanaugh has an interesting part who knows who O'Brien is but keeps his mouth shut. He's a salesman with a drinking problem, but he always is carrying devices that prove handy for O'Brien.

Nice story, but we've seen it all before.
