Profile of Wyoming
Wyoming can be described as exciting. The plot revolves around righting wrongs, lone wolves, and vigilantism. The main genres are foreign, drama, and action. In approach, Wyoming is serious and realistic. It is set, at least in part, on a farm. It is located in Wyoming and Europe. Wyoming takes place in the Old West and in the 19th century. It is a remake.
Summary of Wyoming
Promoted from Republic B westerns to "A" productions, William "Wild Bill" Elliot found himself in the sort of roles previously essayed by John Wayne, Richard Dix and Errol Flynn. In the Republic "special" Wyoming, Elliot plays Charles Alderson, a wealthy Wyoming Territory ranch owner who takes an adversarial position against the congressional Homestead Act of the late 19th century. Alderson's grown daughter Karen (Vera Ralston, whose foreign accent is "explained" by the fact that she's been educated in Europe!) tries to dissuade her father from his ruinous path, but it is only through the villainy of crooked landgrabber Duke Lassiter (Albert Dekker) that Alderson realizes he's been all wrong about the incoming homesteaders. Only in a Republic picture would a film's supporting cast include both Maria Ouspenskaya and Gabby Hayes! This Wyoming, incidentally, is not a remake of the 1940 Columbia film of the same name.
