“Aside from the presence of Rita Hayworth, Hit the Saddle is hardly earthshaking, what with a plot told many times before […]. But Republic Pictures’ original Mesquiteers – Robert Livingston, Ray Corrigan and Max Terhune – are so engaging and the production so well assembled that a good time should be had by all. Add to that a surprisingly serious discussion about the rights of animals and you have a more interesting B-Westerns of its day.” Hans J. Wollstein: Hit the Saddle (Memento vom 24.
