      Movie Info

      When Oklahoma's Cherokee Strip opens for settlers in 1893, a payment is sent to the Native Americans. Whip McCord (Humphrey Bogart) steals the money, but Jim Kincaid (James Cagney), known as the Oklahoma Kid, steals it back. Jim's father, John (Hugh Sothern), disapproves of his son's vigilante actions. McCord takes over the town, turning it into a lawless zone. When John runs for mayor to try to civilize the town, McCord frames him for murder. Jim must rescue his estranged father from lynching.

        Jimmy Cagney stars in this cut-and-dried Warner Brothers oater about the opening of Oklahoma territory to settlers. It seems that there were good, honest folk (waiting to capitalize on the Native lands the government had stolen!) as well as crooks, no-goods, and bandit ruffians (symbolized in the form of Humphrey Bogart). Cagney's not completely by-the-book, and that makes him a wild card. It helps that he's quick with his hands, fearless, and fast on the draw, too. Good times. Look for the staple cast of Warner Brothers supporting players, including Ward Bond. The Cagney style is irresistible in this.

        Competently made but Cagney just doesn't make sense in the West.

        it was good to watch an old black and white movie and the technology available in those times compared to todays. Great to see a young Humphrey Bogart and James Cagney from where they were then,to where there acting careers took them today,so to speak.
