Western Union is another epic of the early
American frontier. This time the stringing of
telephone lines in the 1860s, between Omaha
and Salt Lake City, provides the background
for adventures and excitement in empire
building. Hewing to a straight line in telling
ihe story of pioneering the west, Western Union
is a lusty and actionful offering.
Mounted with expansiveness as a super-western of upper-budget proportions, picture
displays some eyeful exterior panoramas. The
tinting photography has some of the finest
outdoor scenes which were photographed in
the colourful Utah park country.
Randolph Scott, an ex-outlaw who joins the
expedition as a scout turns in a strongly persuasive characterization. Dean Jagger is the
company engineer in charge of construction;
Robert Young a dudish easterner who toughens up under western ways; and
Barton MacLane is the renegade outlaw whose band
continually harasses the camp. Virginia
Gilmore is minor as the romantic interest for
conflict between Scott and Young in the early
reels.
