Rangers of Fortune (Paramount) is a dreamy description of three restless roustabouts who cut many a lusty caper in the Great Southwest during the '70s. One is a down-at-the-heel ex-West Pointer (Fred MacMurray), one a sharpshooting, mustachioed Mexicano (Gilbert Roland), one a leather-faced old pug (Albert Dekker). Together they perform the most prodigious cinema escapades since the wall-scaling, sword-swishing days of Douglas Fairbanks-escaping from a firing squad, terrorizing a small frontier village in Texas, erasing a horde of badmen who murdered the grandfather of a hardy little moppet (Betty Brewer) whom...

Stainton Sonora, an exquisite showing pointer bitch from Cheshire, England which answers to her calling name Barbara only when it is pronounced with a broad English accent. Angry St. Louisans have written Mrs. Strelinger asking why she did not adopt refugee orphans instead of dogs...
...course of these workouts candidates learn of more ways to throw a medicine ball than they had previously thought remotely conceivable, practice simulating pointer dogs, folding jackknives, and steel springs, contortions which the gray-haired director executes with the greatest ease, while his younger and potentially better adapted charges resemble octogenarians when attempting to accomplish the same maneuvers...
