    About this ebook

    Beginning with Whip Wilson's "Abilene Trail" and Tim McCoy's "Aces and Eights" and ambling through Gene Autry's "The Old Barn Dance" and "The Old Corral", this guide winds up with one of Autry's best films, "Yodelin' Kid from Pine Ridge", in which Gene's co-star is none other than the wonderful "Peter Pan" herself, Betty Bronson. Yes, Gene's favorite sidekick, Smiley Burnette, is also along for the ride and really excels himself here in what amounts to a character role. Many other Autry oaters are detailed and discussed in this book. The same goes for Charles Starrett, Ken Maynard, Johnny Mack Brown, Roy Rogers, Bill Boyd, Hoot Gibson, Tex Ritter, Randolph Scott, Buck Jones, Bob Steele, John Wayne, Jack Perrin, Tim Holt, Audie Murphy, William Boyd, Joel McCrea, Alan Ladd, Tom Keene, Bill Cody, etc. Now that so many "B" westerns, as well as major "A" productions are now available on DVD, here's a must-have book for every western fan.

    Director: LEWIS D. COLLINS. Screenplay: Harry Fraser. Photography: Gilbert Warrenton. Film editor: Richard Heermance. Art director: David Milton. Set decorator: Raymond Boltz. Music director: Edward J. Kay. Set continuity: Ilona Vas. Assistant director: Melville Shyer. Sound recording: Tom Lambert. Producer: Vincent M. Fennelly.

    Copyright 4 February 1951 by Monogram Pictures Corporation. No recorded New York opening. U.S. release: 4 February 1951. Never theatrically released in Australia. 63 minutes.

    SYNOPSIS: The Kansas Kid endeavors to lead a cattle drive to Abilene, despite the opposition of a rival ranch foreman.

    COMMENT: This neatly directed Whip Wilson entry maintains the right balance between talk and action. There’s plenty to keep the pace cracking—cattle stampedes, gun fights and lynching parties. Wilson and Clyde make a first-rate team.

    OTHER VIEWS: Moderately entertaining Monogram western. Although the film boasts a sizable human cast, there is not one single steer. The Monogram motto—thank heaven for stock shots—is much in evidence. But, boy, you think they could have hired at least one or two steers for close-ups instead of forcing the principals to idly flick their stock whips at dust swirls! And speaking of whips, aside from lethargic air-dusting, Mr Wilson doesn’t use his once. Still, for all that, action fans will find this little item offers passable enough entertainment.

    Aces and Eights

    Tim McCoy (Tim Madigan), Luana Walters (Juanita Hernandez), Rex Lease (Spanish), Wheeler Oakman (Ace Morgan), Frank Glendon (Amos Harden), Charles Stevens (Captain De Lopez), Earl Hodgins (marshal), Jimmy Aubrey (Lucky), Joseph Girard (Don Hernandez), John Merton (tinhorn), Karl Hackett (Wild Bill Hickok).

    Director: SAM NEWFIELD. Screenplay: Joseph O’Donnell. Story and continuity; George Arthur Durlam. Photography: Jack Greenhalgh, James Diamond. Film editors: John English, Robert Jahns. Assistant director: William O’Connor. Sound recording: Hans Weeren. Producers: Sigmund Neufeld, Leslie Simmonds. [I would rate the Alpha DVD as 7 out of 10].

    A Puritan Pictures Corp. Production, presented by Bernard Smith. U.S. release: 6 June 1936. 62 minutes.

    SYNOPSIS: Gambler McCoy reforms when he meets up with square-shooting Marshal Hodgins and a courteous senorita, Luana Walters.

    COMMENT: As is often the case in B westerns, all the action is saved for the climax. Despite this lack of action, however, the card-sharping plot promised by the title does maintain the interest, although sometimes it’s a little difficult to follow. A half-hearted murder mystery doesn’t help, nor does the similarity between the two villains, Wheeler Oakman and John Merton. Fortunately, Tim McCoy is his usual charismatic self and is given great support here from the likes of Earl Hodgins and Jimmy Aubrey.

    Annie Oakley

    Barbara Stanwyck (Annie Oakley), Preston Foster (Toby Walker), Melvyn Douglas (Jeff Hogarth), Moroni Olsen (Buffalo Bill), Pert Kelton (Vera Delmar), Andy Clyde (James MacIvor), Chief Thunder Bird (Sitting Bull), Margaret Armstrong (Mrs Oakley), Delmar Watson (Wes Oakley), Adeline Craig (Susan Oakley), Dick Elliott (Ned Buntine), Robert McKenzie (Sheriff Bixby), Theodore Lorch (announcer), Otto Hoffman (Lem Jordan), Si Jenks, Frank Austin (Lem’s friends), Stanley Blystone (shooting match judge).

    Director: George Stevens. Screenplay: Joel Sayre, John Twist. Story: Joseph A. Anthony, Ewart Adamson. Photography: J. Roy Hunt, Harold Wenstrom. Film editor: Jack Hively. Art directors: Van Nest Polglase and Perry Ferguson. Music director: Alberto Colombo. Sound recording: P.J. Faulkner, John L. Cass. Associate producer: Cliff Reid. [Available on a superb Warner-Turner DVD].

    Copyright 15 November 1935 by RKO-Radio Pictures. U.S. release: 28 November 1935. 91 minutes.

    SYNOPSIS: A backwoods sharpshooter enters a contest against the world’s best. She would have beaten him too, except that…

    COMMENT: This admirably glossy straight version of the Annie Oakley—Frank Butler story has both its admirers and detractors. As for me, I like it. True, it bears even less relationship to the real story than Annie Get Your Gun. Nonetheless, as pure entertainment this Annie is a winner. Aside from Melvyn Douglas who is forced to struggle valiantly as the other man, this version assembles a great cast, although, would you believe, it’s Chief Thunder Bird who actually walks away with the movie’s top acting honors?

    Arena

    Gig Young (Hob Danvers), Polly Bergen (Ruth Danvers), Jean Hagen (Meg Hutchins), Henry Harry Morgan (Lew Hutchins), Barbara Lawrence (Sylvia Lorgan), Robert Horton (Jackie Roach), Lee Aaker (Teddy Hutchins), Lee Van Cleef (Smitty), Marilee Phelps (wife of Smitty), Jim Hayward (Cal Jamison), George Wallace (Buster Cole), Morris Ankrum (Bucky Hilberry), Murray Alper (medic), Billy Dix, Richard Farnsworth, Chuck Hayward, Archie Butler (cowboys), Stuart Randall (Eddie Elstead), Emmett Vogan, Jess Kirkpatrick, Jeanne Dante, Helen Spring (Eastern tourist spectators), Len Hendry (bartender), John Call (father), Chris Olsen (boy), John Hedloe (young man), Mary Lawrence (young woman), Marshall Reed (clerk), Dale Van Sickel (Johnny Backett).

Sound recording: Wesley C. Miller, Franklin Milton, William Steinkamp. Western Electric Sound System. Metrovision Tri-Dee technology: Jack Arnold. Producer: Arthur M. Loew, jr.

    Copyright 24 June 1953 by Loew’s Inc. A Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer picture. New York opening at Loew’s State: 22 July 1953. U.S. release: 12 June 1954. London trade show in 3-D): mid-February 1954. U.K. release (presumably flat) on the lower half of a double bill. Australian release: 26 April 1954. Sydney opening (flat) as the main attraction at the suburban Metros. City moveover to the top half of a double bill at the Lyric. 70 minutes.

    SYNOPSIS: An aging rodeo star (Gig Young) meets up with his estranged wife (Polly Bergen) at an engagement in Tucson, Arizona. Although she tries to appear indifferent, the wife has actually traveled to the Tucson arena in a last-ditch attempt to win back her husband. Unfortunately, he is now entangled with a blonde siren (Barbara Lawrence) who has no intention of letting her meal ticket wander back home. On the other hand, the wife’s bid is vigorously supported by a mutual friend, Lew Hutchins (Henry Harry Morgan). A former rodeo champion of champions, Hutchins is now reduced to playing a clown.

    COMMENT: Way back when it was first released, I commented in my newspaper review that the best way to enjoy Arena was to come late. I was wrong. The best 3-D sequence is right at the very beginning of the movie, with two cars nosing into the camera as they race along the highway to Tucson. After this initial spurt of action, all we get is a lot of dreary rodeo footage with a few steers horning into the lens. The screenplay is likewise dull, though it does provide a few snappy lines for the lovely Barbara Lawrence. Her wonderfully sinuous femme fatale lifts the acting level of Arena considerably, even inspiring Robert Horton to lift his game. Gig Young as always is insufferably dull, whilst unattractively photographed Jean Hagen is wasted in a thankless role. Miss Bergen looks pretty but out of place. Interesting to see Lee Van Cleef in a rare sympathetic underdog role. Despite some bright stretches, color photography in the print under review is inclined to be too soft and diffuse — especially in the seemingly endless rodeo footage which looks like a blow-up from 16mm.

    Arizona Days

    Tex Ritter (Tex Mallinson), Syd Saylor (Grass Hopper), William Faversham (Professor McGill), Ethelin Terry (Ida), Eleanor Stewart (Marjorie Workman), Tommy Bupp (Billy Workman), Snub Pollard (Cookie), Horace Murphy (Sheriff Brown), Forrest Taylor (Price), Earl Dwire (Joe Workman), Salty Holmes (himself), Glenn Strange (Price’s chief henchman), Budd Buster (sheriff), and White Flash.

    Director: JOHN ENGLISH. Screenplay: Sherman Lowe. Story: Lindsley Parsons. Photography: Gus Peterson. Film editor: Fred Bain. Music director: Frank Sanucci. Songs mostly by Tex Ritter. Production supervisor: Lindsley Parsons. Production manager and assistant director: Robert Emmett Tansey. Producer: Edward Finney. Executive producer: Edward L. Alperson.

    Copyright 2 February 1937 by Grand National. U.S. release: 30 January 1937. 6 reels. 57 minutes. [Available on DVD through Critics’ Choice. My rating: 9 out of 10. I do not recommend the Rph DVD, which not only uses an inferior print, but one that’s missing a large stretch of important narrative material, including one of the movie’s most spectacular scenes].

    SYNOPSIS: A complicated but easy-to-follow plot starts off when a cowboy and his sidekick join a traveling theater troupe. Would you believe, the cowboy ends up as the county tax collector? And this is where the real story starts. A leading citizen not only refuses to pay, but even resorts to murder!

    NOTES: Final movie appearance of noted stage actor, William Faversham, who died in 1940 at the age of 72. Faversham made only 12 movies between 1915 and 1937.

    COMMENT: This is the third of the forty-picture Tex Ritter series, and definitely one of the best. It’s also one of John English’s most well-paced and interesting movies. Mind you, Sherman Lowe’s fascinating script helps. Not only does the plot rivet the attention, but it contains at least three really surprising twists. Forrest Taylor handles the heavy with considerable aplomb, and it’s good to see Faversham in his element as the hammy old actor. Eleanor Stewart makes a super-attractive heroine.

    Arizona Round-Up

    Tom Keene (Tom Kenyon), Frank Yaconelli (Pierre), Sugar Dawn (Sugar), Jack Ingram (Duke Carlton), Hope Blackwood (Miss O’Day), I. Stanford Jolley (Spencer), Steve Clark (O’Day), Tom Seidel (Hank), Hal Price (Ted Greenway), Nick Moro (Pancake), Gene Alsace (Rocky), Horace B. Carpenter, Fred Hoose (ranchers), Ed Cassidy (sheriff).

    Director: ROBERT EMMETT TANSEY. Screenplay: Robert Emmett Tansey and Frances Kavanaugh. Photography: Marcel Le Picard. Film editor: Fred Bain. Music director: Frank Sanucci. Production manager: Fred Hoose. Sound recording: Ferroll Redd. Producer: Robert Emmett Tansey. [Available on an Alpha DVD].

    Copyright 10 March 1942 by Monogram Pictures Corporation. U.S. release: 6 March 1942. 56 minutes.

    COMMENT: Below average Monogram western. On the credit side, there’s a fairly exciting race sequence. On the debit ledger, the script emerges as the usual ho-hum compendium of clichés, and acting here can only be described as sub-standard. In fact, it takes a strong stomach indeed to endure both Mr Yaconelli and Miss Dawn.

    The Avenger

    Buck Jones (Joaquin Murieta/Carter), Dorothy Revier (Miss Lake), Sidney Bracey (Windy), Paul Fix (Joaquin’s brother), Edward Peil Sr, Otto Hoffman, Frank Ellis, Edward Hearn, Walter Percival, Al Taylor, Slim Whitaker, and Silver.

    Director: ROY WILLIAM NEILL. Screenplay: George Morgan. Original story: Jack Townley. Photography: Charles Van Enger OR Charles Van Enger and Ted Tetzlaff OR Charles Stumar. Film editor: Ray Snyder OR Edward Curtis. Producer: Sol Lesser. Beverly Productions.

    Copyright 11 March 1931 by Columbia Pictures Corp. No New York opening. U.S. release: 6 March 1931. 62 minutes.

    NOTES: Re-made in 1942 as Vengeance of the West. Other Murieta movies include Robin Hood of El Dorado (1936) and The Firebrand (1962). The actual credits of the Gail Pictures re-release print under review list Stumar and Curtis for photography and film editing, respectively. All reference books, however, say otherwise.
