"Tom Tyler B-Western Series ... Rio Rattler (1935) ... VCI Home Video".......2006-11-04

VCI Entertainment presents "RIO RATTLER" (1935) (60 mins/B&W) (Dolby digitally remastered) --- relive those thrilling days when Tom Tyler took us down the dusty trails with hard riding and straight shooting hitting the bull's eye with excitement every time... the Tom Tyler series of B-Westerns were a staple of Saturday matinees in the 1930s and 1940s ... don't miss any of the Tom Tyler features loaded with action that will leave you wanting more of his B-Western adventures.

Under Bernard B. Ray (Director / Producer), Franklin Shamray (Director), Bennett Ray Cohen (Screenwriter), Carl Krusada (Screenwriter), Pliny Goodfriend (Cinematographer), William Austin (Editor) ------ the cast includes Tom Tyler (Tom Denton), Eddie Gribbon (Soapy), Marion Shilling (Mary Adams), William Gould (Mason, Crooked Banker), Tom London (Ranger Bob Adams), Slim Whitaker ('Rattler' Brown (as Charles Whitaker), Lafe McKee ('Pop' Martin), Ace Cain (Henchman Sam Hall), Frank Ellis (Henchman Tonto) . . . . . . Poverty Row features our hero Tom Tyler and his faithful sidekick Eddie Gribbon coming to the aid of Tom London, who is a friend and Ranger ... London is killed but before he dies gives his assignment to Tyler to complete and bring justice to the territory ... who is the mysterious outlaw in these parts known as "The Rattler", what part does he play in this twist and turns screenplay ... the heroine Marion Shilling is the sister of London and believes Tyler killed him, through the accusations of the crooked banker William Gould ... Slim Whitaker plays his villain part to the hilt, but watch the comedy antics of the "Singing Smith Brothers" (Jack Evans and Al Haskell), who will gun down anyone who doesn't appreciate their singing talent ... Tyler is outstanding as usual in this oater and the best thing going, his performance once again hits the mark, just to watch him in this sage brush tale is worth the price of a ticket ------ another great B-Western for Tom Tyler under the Poverty Row Picture banner, proves to be one of his most exciting performances.

Special footnote, actor Tom Tyler (nee Vincent Markowski) born into a Polish-American family in 1903 ... Tyler had a long career in film, stretching from the 1920s to the 1950s, and appeared in many films, most of them westerns such as John Ford's "Stagecoach" (1939) as Luke Plummer and "She Wore a Yellow Ribbon" (1949) .Cpl. Mike Quayne, Leader of Paradise River Patrol ... The biggest part of Tyler's career was spent making B-movie westerns, however. Tyler also notably portrayed the Fawcett Comics superhero "Captain Marvel" in the 1941 film serial "The Adventures of Captain Marvel", which was the first film adaptation of a superhero in history. In 1940, he was the Mummy in "The Mummy's Hand"; Lon Chaney, Jr. took over the role and played it in three sequels ... "The Phantom", starring Tom Tyler.In 1943, he played another superhero, in the highly successful "The Phantom", based on Lee Falk's famous comic strip ... Tyler was beset by rheumatoid arthritis in the later part of his career, and was limited to occasional supporting roles often for director John Ford, for whom he had worked in a number of films prior to his illness ... passed away at the age of 50 in 1954 due to heart failure.
