“Desert Command” is a condensed feature cut from the 1933 serial “The Three Musketeers”, with a young John Wayne in the lead. While the core story is simple, the editing makes it feel disjointed, a predictable result of condensing a 12-chapter serial into a single film. The pacing jumps between bursts of action, chases, brawls, and quick plot turns. Its slower moments are bogged down by clunky dialogue.
