review for God's Country and the Man on AllMovie

God's Country and the Man (1931)
by Hans J. Wollstein review

The surprising demise of comic relief George Hayes (long before he earned the nickname of "Gabby") and a boss villain who initiates every one of his crimes by playing a sad dirge on his fiddle are just a few of this strange Western's many breaks with tradition. Produced by Trem Carr for the low-rent Syndicate Pictures Corp., God's Country and the Man was co-written by its villain, Al Bridge, and remains a startling, well-acted example of a near-Gothic B-Western.
