The Boy From Oklahoma

Correspondence-course lawyer Tom Brewster (Will Rogers, Jr.)--not so good with a six-gun, but a whiz with a lariat--seeks to hang up his shingle in a corrupt town. He soon assumes the late sheriff’s badge in order to bring grafting mayor Barney Turlock (Anthony Caruso) to heel. Amiable oater co-stars Nancy Olson, Lon Chaney, Jr., Wallace Ford, Slim Pickens, and Merv Griffin as Steve; directed by Michael Curtiz. 87 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono.
