The Fighting Kentuckian
In 1818 Alabama, French settlers are pitted against greedy land-grabber Blake Randolph but Kentucky militiaman John Breen, who's smitten with French gal Fleurette De Marchand, comes to the settlers' aid.

“The Fighting Kentuckian” pairs John Wayne with frontier adventure, light romance, and a dash of historical fiction. The romantic subplot is lackluster but serves to move the story forward. Oliver Hardy brings unexpected warmth and levity. While the premise is unique and there are a few enjoyable moments, it never quite rises above average. Pleasant enough, but far from essential.
