Editorial Reviews

From the producer and director of "The Grand Ole Opry," comes Raiders of Old California, a taut action Western film. Unusual in that it shows Mexicans being attacked by white men, the film is a nonstop assault of marauding, looting, and all out battle. Eventually, the leader of the American raiders Angus McKane (Jim Davis), wins out and establishes his own town. McKane is insidious and militaristic, eschewing human rights for his own selfish greed. Eventually a judge and marshal come to town to establish order, and the resulting legal drama, chaos, and Wild West style action breaks out of the floodgates. Raiders of Old California is fistfights, gunfights, and fights on horseback, but it's also well acted and well produced, making it a rare joy of classic western cinema.

This review is from: Country Music Stars Faron Young and Marty Robbins in the Classic Western Raiders of Old California DVD (1957) Starring Jim Davis, Arleen Whelan, Faron Young, Marty Robbins, and Lee Van Cleef (DVD)
Fun to watch old 50s style Western about a rogue group of former Union soldier that swindle a former Mexican officer out of a wealth of land that he helped settel some of the territory's poor people on so they can continue to grow their crops and live in peace. This is only the crux of the story. A federal Marshall and his father, a federal Judge come to investiagte allegations of abuse towards the settelers by the now "owner" of the land who wants these people off the land so he can run his cattle operation. The story is well thought out and the action is typical of 1950's Westerns but very enjoyable to watch even for younger viewers. I would consider it slightly more violent than a Gene Autry style show.
