Editorial Reviews

Life imitated art in 1953 when the California town of Kernville, the location site of countless B-Westerns, was abandoned to create Lake Isabella. But that later development notwithstanding, Frontier Horizon belongs squarely to the 1930s and is a typical, if late, example of depression-era moviemaking. The bad guys are the construction crew, greedy easterners and their western hirelings who threaten to change life forever despite the indignation and protests of the little man. Republic Pictures appears to have been in a generous mood this time around and Frontier Horizon has enough riding extras, spills, and falls, not to mention a John Wayne on the brink of super-stardom, that the Western at times resembles a Grade-A effort -- if it wasn't for one of those standard B-Western screenplays traveling a straight line from A to B, that is.
