Come on Danger!

About This Movie

Come on Danger! is one of those early 30s films that straddles the line between drama, romance, and Western. The story of Sam Dunning's murder sets a tone of suspense right from the start, with that ominous note pinned to him. It's a fascinating look at themes of honor and revenge, particularly through Larry, the Texas Ranger, who is drawn into a moral quandary involving Joan Stanton. The performances have a raw quality, capturing the grit of the era. It’s intriguing how the pacing keeps you engaged throughout, and the practical effects, albeit limited, manage to convey the tension effectively. The film feels like a time capsule, giving us a glimpse into the cultural attitudes of its time.

Come on Danger! remains a somewhat obscure title in the collector community, primarily due to its limited release and the unknown status of its director. The scarcity of prints makes it a curious find for those intrigued by early cinema, especially within the Western genre. There’s a certain charm in its rough edges that appeals to collectors looking for lesser-known gems from this era.
