Gem Review: The Fighting Kentuckian


John Wayne stars as a Kentucky soldier who falls in love with a pretty French girl living in America with her exiled general father. The soldier and his buddy, Oliver Hardy help the French exiles fight for their land.

The girl's father rejects him as a suitable husband because the girl is already betrothed to a wealthy land owner. Ever the dutiful daughter, the girl also rejects Wayne's advances. Tables get turned when he finds out her wealthy suitor is behind the plot to reject the French land claims.

Do look for the enjoyable antics of Oliver Hardy in this rare role without Stan Laurel. He and Wayne make the film fun and lighten up all the fighting scenes. I found this black and white classic well worth my time.

Bandon has both a VHS and a DVD copy of this film.
