Warner Baxter, "The Robin Hood of El Dorado," shoots the cursed gringos out of California to the tune of pounding hoofs and boiling blood in one of the most virile pictures of the year. The redoubtable Joachim Murietta is sympathetically apologized for. "Unguarded Hour," with Franchot Tone and Loretta Young, is a collection of harrowing crises, foremost of which is the breaking of the district attorney's spectacular prosecution, simultaneous with his being accused of murder...

Taking advantage of his kingly prerogative, Richard sulks in his tent and merely sends his sword to the wedding, but after their first meeting in the flesh things warm up a little. We were sitting on the edge of our seat waiting for that famous mouthful, "Berengaria, I love you!"--but it never came and we were much disappointed...
