Way Out West (1930)


MGM
Directed by Fred Niblo
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Turner Classic Movies)

William Haines is a carnival barker turned gay cowboy in this fish-out-of-water story. The regular cowpokes beat him up incessantly and make him do menial chores, the result of a crooked gambling debt he owes them. Gay stereotypes are pervasive throughout the film. Haines' character is named "Windy", although he does romance pretty Leila Hyams.
