Trail of the Lonesome Pine review from Amarillo
A wary Amarillo review finds The Trail of the Lonesome Pine overlong and uneven with strong supporting turns by Little Spanky and Allan Baxter but faltering lead performances. The piece notes Will Rogers, Cardinal Richelieu, and The Three Musketeers as alternatives, and critiques Hollywood color make up while praising some cast moments.
