review
Russell Hayden made eight starring Westerns for Columbia and A Tornado in the Saddle is one of the very best -- in fact, this little Western remains one of the biggest slugfests in B-Western history. Every five minutes, it seems, someone is knocked more or less unconscious or the entire cast engages in a furious donnybrook, fists hitting chins accompanied by Columbia's legendary loud sound effects. Even Bob Wills, the "King of Cowboy Swing," and his band join in the fun when not performing Cindy Walker's "Dusty Skies," "I'm From Texas, Too," "Hit the Dust," and the lively "Barstool Cowboy From Old Barstow." All of which makes for a noisy hour or so of perfect B-Western entertainment.
