Lulu and the Spartan Executive

Seeing Louise Brooks' last film appearance raises more questions than it answers. When I first saw this, I had never heard any LB audio. I supposed that she was one of those silent film stars kept from talkies and from stage success by poor vocal performance. Her speech was just fine, even if she came off as someone more dynamic (and well-dressed) than her character. When LB moved to NYC, surely she could have had all the radio work she might have wanted. It makes her actual choices all the more baffling.There is an inanimate co-star: a Spartan Executive Model 7W airplane. That was a very advanced, fast four-seater. Googling the tail number, I learned much about its interesting subsequent history--and that it still flies! As the plot called for an air transport plane, there are interior shots of a good-sized airliner cabin. It is like the tardis--with an interior incongruously larger than its exterior.

The Three Mesquiteers vs Some Airline Skyjackers

After several buses carrying a large payroll are ambushed by some bandits on horseback, a man by the name "Ned Hoyt" (Anthony Marsh) convinces the company that depends on the bus line, to utilize his new airplane instead. Needless to say, this doesn't sit well with the owner of the bus company who has been secretly working with the bandits all this time. So, when he learns that Ned will be transporting almost $100,000 on his next flight, he sends some men to skyjack that flight and steal the money it is transporting. What he doesn't count on, however, is that Ned is a good friend of the Three Mesquiteers who have invested a large amount of their own money on Ned's new airline, and they are determined to make sure it's a success. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this was an okay Western which seemed to lean more heavily upon John Wayne (as "Stony Brooke") than the other two Mesquiteers. Not that this was a bad thing, necessarily, as he put in a reasonably solid performance overall. Be that as it may, even though the film is rather short (55 minutes) and rather dated, it still managed to pass the time well enough, and I have rated it accordingly. Average.

The 3 mesquiteers fly high!!

When a bus is held up and robbed of its gold bullion, the local mining company are persuaded into using alternative transport - an airplane service sponsored by the Three Mesquiteers. But the bus operators plan to sabotage their efforts .The 3 mesquiteers are a combination of modern west and old west, the former takes more prominence in this entry with a plane being used for shipping gold, and what you get is a hijacking, great aerial views, parachuting, and communication deception - not to forget plenty of shooting and chasing, the standard features in this fun escapist adventure. And that's how you should see them as - pure escapism.Silent movie actress Louise Brooks co-stars and does a good job, though it not a too showy role. John Wayne and co. Are on top form, riding, shooting, even using smoke grenades to get the job done - and that is to stop the baddies.
