Well how can I remember them if they're "forgotten"?
Bogie-bud, how are ya'?
Of the three I've only seen Utah Blaine and that's been a while so I'm a bit foggy (like that's not the norm). To the best of my recollection it was an okay oater. I don't mind Calhoun, he's decent enough in the action department, just don't ask for (open) range in his acting. He can pull ap unch or fire off a six shooter as well as most of the "B cowboys. I think he was a pretty fair athlete and that helps in the fight scenes.

The only bad movie is no movie at all.

Yep as I noted in my review of RED SUNDOWN he was akin to cardboard. The interesting thing though is that I found out recently that he's the distant cousin of a sports talk show host here in Toronto.
So it's enlightening to actually see what the guy was about. I can actually see the family resemblance to the talk show host as well.
