Blu-ray Review Law and Order (1932) – Blu-ray Review (1 Viewer)

[t1g3r5fan]

Today, Law and Order. Entering the film business while he was still a student at UCLA, Edward L. Cahn first cut his teeth as a film editor – one of his credits was the Best Picture winning All Quiet on the Western Front (1930) – before he made his directorial debut in 1931 with The Homicide Squad. Over the next thirty years, he would establish himself as a reliable second feature director, with notable credits ranging from the Our Gang comedies at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer from 1939 to 1943 and It! The Terror Beyond Space (1958). However, he got a very notable film to his credit almost right off the bat: the western Law and Order. Kino has licensed the movie from Universal for its home video debut.

On my list of titles I'll be getting for sure.

I just watched this film and really enjoyed it. Walter Huston and Harry Carey Sr. were great, as were some other actors with major parts who I'm not as familiar with. Russell Simpson and Andy Devine were good too. The film had a leisurely pace until the final shootout, which was outstandingly staged with quick cuts to each shooter and to each body that fell (high body count for this era of film!).

I had the subtitles on for the first 10 minutes or so but turned them off as every other sentence or two had a mistake. One character said "those Indians sure are bad medicine," but it was transcribed as "bad mothers"! The cast list on the reverse side of the slipcover and Blu ray art insert retained the mistake that's in some of the film's movie posters (as per IMDb) by listing Lois Wilson in the cast even though her role was completely cut from the final release version.
