Captain Fury (1939)

United Artists
Directed by Hal Roach
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Turner Classic Movies)

Nominated: Best Art Direction

Standard programmer that takes a western plot and places it in Australia. George Zucco and John Carradine are among a cast of B regulars working with a poor script and a low budget. Brian Aherne is "Captain Fury", an Irish revolutionary sentenced to the Australian penal colony. He escapes and is soon leading another revolution for the local farmers. A long subplot involves a love affair with local girl June Lang.
