Lassy La Roc, der Mann der Peitsche, 1. Teil – Im Auftrag des Sheriffs (1949)

Lassy La Roc, der Mann der Peitsche, 1. Teil – Im Auftrag des Sheriffs: Directed by Ray Taylor. With Lash La Rue, Al St. John, Dan White, John Merton. The Marshal sends Lash and Fuzzy south of the border where McCord runs a smuggling operation. His chief henchman, known as the Frontier Phantom, is Lash’s brother and it’s not long before the two brothers meet.

“Lash has a way of shooting from the hip. No aiming at the villains, just firing away at hip level. Amazing! His buddy u0026quot; Fuzzy u0026quot; is just great as the side kick – a character actor who really understood how to play second fiddle and yet be remembered as a character. Lots of fist fights and hard riding – light weight stuff but thoroughly enjoyable. Still have to chuckle at the shooting from the hip style – surprisingly accurate. He also has a pretty sharp horse – not as good as Tom Mixu0026#39;s u0026quot; Tony u0026quot; but good for standing on itu0026#39;s hind legs and riding hard. I remember Lash from the 1950u0026#39;s on TV but Iu0026#39;m not sure if it was from a TV series or old movie reruns. It was just fun to watch a couple of his old films again. Lash, by the way, is pressed pretty hard by Fuzzy – who is one of those thoroughly remember-able characters. Itu0026#39;s like our current sitcoms – fun to watch – but not a good idea to attach current social values to – times and social values have changed. Hang loose and enjoy.”
