flight production, direction, performance and photography. Wallace Beery at his best, playing the type of role in which he is most popular and providing extremely good entertainment. As brilliantly executed western drama as the screen has seen. Historical authenticity and presenting the most vivid panorama of the arid majesties of Death Valley ever shown on the screen. Beery is in his element in the role of the mule skinner, giving an even better characterization than in 'Bad Man of Brimstone'." — Hollywood Reporter
"A natural for Wallace Beery and will serve further to ingratiate him with an ever-increasing audience. The story, absorbing excitement and, suspense, both romantic and melodramatic. One of the best gun-fights ever seen on the screen winds up for a happy ending. High level of gripping entertainment. A topnotch job all the way. Scenically the picture is remarkable." — Daily Variet

"Death Valley has been overlooked too long by Hollywood in picking stories for Westerns. In '20 Mule Team' M-G-M will cash in strong on the picturesque history and strangeness of this locale. Story offers excellent role for Wallace Beery, one of the most colorful parts he has had." — Harry Friedman, L. A. Examiner

"'20 Mule Team' roaring melodrama of Death Valley. A rip-roaring tale with its desert panoramas and its bad men, with a superabundance of action and a great.fight-to-the-finish wind-up. Death Valley has seldom been delved into so effectively. Alt m all a hit."
