Film editor Carl Pierson fills in for Robert North Bradbury as director on this little Monogram oater, but everything else remain pretty much the same, including the supporting cast. After all, how many different ways can one film John Wayne (or his stunt double Yakima Canutt) ride hell bent for leather? Yet Paradise Canyon does stand out from Wayne's other early Westerns in that Robert Emmett Tansey's screenplay tends to stress comedy over action. Highlights include medicine showmen Perry Murdock and Gordon Clifford crooning "When We Were Young and Foolish" and the unforgettable "Snap Those Old Suspenders" as a gathering of townsmen hold their noses, and that ever-popular cinematic huckster Earl Hodgins shamelessly hawking "Dr. Carter's Famous Indian Remedy."
