THE FIGHTING KENTUCKIAN (1949) **1/2 What the hell is John Wayne doin' fighting for a bunch of Napoleonic French people against Americans ! An' ain't that some communiss song they keep workin' into the theme? And didn't he produce this with his own money? Yes my friends, it appears that The Duke was a bit more complex than latter day political cartoonists are inclined to give him credit for. But will he, how can he stop the capitalists from soiling love its very self with precious Vera Ralston? And is there any hope that Oliver Hardy can save them in time? Oliver Hardy save John Wayne !!? Now you've gone too far, he's not even really in it, is he? Are any of 'em, is it even a real movie? Now you've got me wonderin' where you started lyin' so hard.
