“Not being an expert on this genre I canu0026#39;t give The Dawn Rider an unqualified whoop or a hesitant snort either. I cut my eye-teeth on this type of B Western when a kid in the 60u0026#39;s – Iu0026#39;ve only seen a few hundred films like it since and it seems pretty much average.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWayne looked a very smooth and supple 28 year old, swinging into saddles for countless horse races, sorry, chases, but he was a much better character to watch as the craggy icon he later became. He, and all the characters (and the story) in TDR are necessarily flat and undeveloped – the kids in the cinema at the time werenu0026#39;t interested in multi-layered portrayals of Tolstoy magnitude, and Lone Star werenu0026#39;t going to give u0026#39;em it either!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe DVD had new musical additions – I prayed for silence! But all in all a pleasant hour was spent by the TV at my ole homestead.”
