Shadow Valley

...so-so yarn built around a goldmine....Dean is again matched against George Chesebro. Casting of the latter in the heavy's role, incidentally, has now become almost tradition. A trainrobber on the lam, he heads the outlaws while in the guise of an attorney. Jennifer Holt is the object of his schemings. He and his gang have already killed Miss Holt's father and uncle in an attempt to scare her into selling her ranch. Thar's gold in them thar hills, but Miss Holt doesn't know it. In the nick of time comes Dean, mounted on his snowwhite charger, White Cloud. He puts the badmen to flight and saves the ranch with its valuable gold lode for Miss Holt. Interspersed in the footage are a trio of mediocre songs which make a fair attempt to capture the flavor of the mesa.... (Variety, December 3, 1947)
