What a cast! Did John Wayne and Roy Rogers appear together in any other films? You may be wondering how we could be thinking about movies when the Germans are invading the West. Well, a discussion about “Dark Command” started back in March when the movie was actually released. So I didn’t think I should ignore it when it finally came up for review now.

“That Shakespeare must come from Texas. We been sayin that for a long time.”

Classic Wayne.

I’ve always loved that movie, ‘Dark Command’.

Got to watch something to take my mind off the war, and this one looks like a dandy!
