Classic, well done RKO Western

"Barbara Stanwyck and Ronald Reagan give fine performances in this colorful little western. Directed by Allan Dwan and produced by Benedict Bogeaus, Cattle Queen of Montana, is well produced, colorful, and entertaining throughout. Lots of action, great photographer, and a great story make for the kind of thrills that Western fans appreciate. Louis Forbes, who also did the musical score for the Dwan/Borgeaus collaboration Silver Lode, also composed the fine score for this one.
The VCI DVD issue is clean and sharp, colorful, and well-done, with extras that add to our enjoyment. We owe VCI a debt of thanks for rescuing this film, and others suchs as TENNESSEE'S PARTNER, SILVER LODE, THE YOUNG LAND, and PASSION (all from the 1950s), which they have made available [see listing for them].
Highly recommended to fans of Westerns and those who enjoy 1950s cinema."
Holy cattle, Mr. President!

"Hey, any movie featured in Back To The Future
is worth a top review.
Even if I had never seen this movie I would give it a great review.
It taught me the importance of peaceful bovine coexistance, and the nutritional value of plains grasses.
Some people think nobody lives in Montana just because the highways have no speed limits, but this movie shows that there are at least 2.
Look for a cameo by a very yound Elvis Presley."
Great scenery

"Typical 1950's western yarn. The plot is very simple, the acting is actually very good.. What saves this movie is the great scenery of montana. All and all it is a good movie to have in your collection."
Available as part of a double feature for less money

"This great flick is also available as part of a double feature (Cattle Queen of Montana/Tennessee's Partner) which sells for less money than EITHER of the films sell for separately! It is on Amazon.
Both films have great transfers and it seems to be released by the same company!"
