Critical MeMe

Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Drums Along the Mohawk (1939)

Reminded me a lot of Stagecoach, which I guess shouldn't surprise me as they were made the same year with the same director. Not a masterpiece by any stretch of the imagination; stereotypes abound -- the "good" Indian being an especially cringe-worthy example thereof. Fonda's good and Edna May Oliver, nominated for her work, is terrific.
