Brilliant and touching

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

In Pals Of The Pecos we once again have a title with absolutely nothing to do with the film. Though the Three Mesquiteers maybe Pals Of The Pecos, this film is set in California and it has Robert Livingston, Bob Steele, and Rufe Davis helping their friend Pat O'Malley get awarded a stagecoach franchise line. O'Malley plays fair and square, but Robert Frazer and his henchman Roy Barcroft most certainly do not.In fact they corrupt O'Malley's carousing son Dennis Moore into betraying his father and Moore pays with his life.The climax is a good one and it involved the guys trying to pull a stagecoach over a hill with the bad guys shooting at them.Lots of excitement in this 3 Mesquiteers tale.
