John Wayne is The Man From Monterey as Army Captain John Holmes, sent to Santa Barbara in 1848 to persuade Spanish landowners to register their ranchos with the U.S. government. What he finds is a web of deceit, a senorita in distress and danger at every turn. (official distributor synopsis)
Reviews (1)
A pretty entertaining film, which, while technically a western, is more like a little under-an-hour plaything about who ends up with whom. John Wayne is like an overseer and whisperer here, ensuring that everything ends up as the heart desires. He's the main character, but he has a slightly different role than we're used to. It suits him.
