The Fighting Kentuckian

(1949)Directed by George Waggner100 min · PGWestern, Romance
“ROUGHER, TOUGHER, MORE ROMANTIC THAN EVER!”

John Breen (John Wayne), a Kentucky militiaman, takes one look at Fleurette De Marchand (Vera Ralston), a French exile, and decides he has found the girl he wants. Then he learns of a plot to steal the land her people mean to settle on. George Waggner sets Wayne's big, easy swagger against Oliver Hardy as Willie Paine, the round, loyal friend who follows him into it.
