The Sheriff of Medicine Bow (1948)
Directed by Lambert Hillyer
Overview
Sheriff of Medicine Bow is one of the slower-moving Johnny Mack Brown westerns for Monogram. Once, again, Brown is teamed with Raymond Hatton, but something new has been added. Max Terhune plays Hatton’s comic foil, travelling under the same character name-“Alibi”-that he used when costarring in Monogram’s “Range Busters” series. Terhune’s bucolic routines did little to enliven the proceedings, but at least his presence injected some novelty value in the fading Brown series. Two films later, Raymond Hatton had left the fold, and Johnny Mack Brown was reteamed with Max Terhune for an additional three entries.
