“DODGE CITY’—EPIC!
W ue. a year ago, film critics greeted Warner Bros, “The Adventures of Robin Hood” with an overwhelming barrage of praise, they added that a more colorful, more spectacular adventure picture would be difficult to produce. “Dodge City” provides the answer to that challenge. If “Robin Hood” was pretty close to fiction, “Dodge City” is pretty close to fact, and it becomes all the more extra
ordinary and exciting thereby.
In the southwestern part of Kansas some sixty-seven years ago, far-seeing Santa Fe Railroad operators laid out the community destined to become Dodge City, No sooner had the last spike been driven than business flourished rapidly. Dozens of carloads of hides and meat were shipped daily. From the four corners of the earth men came to this “wide-open Babylon of the West”—to build, to ravage, to fight—cowboy, bull-whacker, humble citizen and homemaker. Behind them came the flotsam and jetsam of civilization to reap only the gold that lay within
easy reach. Saloons, ‘gambling halls, and bawdy houses
sprang up overnight. Lawlessness and shootings ran riot
and Dodge City became a melting-pot of adventurers, settlers, and gunmen—a city which caused it to be said, “West
of Chicago, there’s no law, west of Dodge City, no God.”
Into this maelstrom rides a devil-may-care, hell-for-leather figure bent on taming the wildest town in the West. Such a character is played by Errol Flynn, living the mightiest adventure of his colorful career ... such a picture is presented by Warner Bros. offering one of the outstanding productions of the year—a
spectacular epic in Technicolor —“Dodge City”!
