Wild Horse Phantom (1944)


PRC Pictures
Directed by Sam Newfield
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, VCI Communications)

This Buster Crabbe B is a lot of fun. Buster and his sidekick Fuzzy St. John have great chemistry. Fuzzy is allowed plenty of room for his physical comedy. In particular, his battle with a bat in an abandoned mine is a hoot. Fuzzy evens gets a sentimental scene towards the beginning when an old friend dies in his bed. The combination of comedy, horror and shoot 'em up is well done and makes for an enjoyable Saturday afternoon matinee.
