“Good quality u0026quot;Bu0026quot; grade oater! The black and white print I saw, was of more than an acceptable standard.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSimple story of a u0026quot;niceu0026quot; gunfighter, stumbling into a range war north of the Mexican border and siding with the outgunned minority, who include his future love interest. He gradually inspires others to join the cause.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe thing I like about Utah Blaine, is its total lack of pretence. It knows its limitations and budget, but fills its 75 minutes with a decent (albeit predictable) story, thatu0026#39;s filled with heaps of action and some amusingly sardonic lines of dialogue. There is little to find fault with the acting and production values.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf you come across it, itu0026#39;s certainly worthy of a look.”
