"The King of B-Westerns & Serials...VCI Entertainment ~ Paroled to Die (1938)".......2006-03-08

VCI Entertainment and Republic Pictures present "Paroled to Die" (1938) (Dolby
digitally remastered)...relive those thrilling days from the early '30s and '40s
when Bob Steele took us down the dusty trails and the plains to exciting
adventures....some of the best B-Westerns ever to grace the Saturday Matinee
Screen...just remember double thrills, chills, mystery and suspense...hitting the bull's eye
with excitement...don't miss any of the Bob Steele features loaded with action that will leave
you wanting more of his B-Western adventures

Under director Sam Newfield, producer A.W. Hackel, short story by Harry F. Olmstead, screenplay by George H. Plympton...the cast include Bob Steele (Doug Redfern), Kathleen Eliot (Joan Blackman), Karl Hackett (Harvey Meline), Horace Murphy (Lucky Gosden), Steve Clark .... Sheriff Blackman), Budd Buster (Spike Travers), James Sheridan (Sherry Tansey), Frank Ball (Judge), Jack C. Smith (Prosecuting Attorney). . . . . . our story opens when our hero Bob Steele seems to have misplaced his bandana, what has villainous Karl Hackett to do with the plot at Republic Studios...the heroine beautiful Kathleen Eliot loves Steele, but Hackett has other ideas about Kathleen's future...why does Sheriff Clark the father of Kathleen want her to get hitched with Hackett, could it be the oil he is drilling for or is it the fact he is the only banker in town with his heart set on the Sheriff's daughter...is Horace Murphy what he seems to be or is he the famous government agent sent to clean up the mess the writers Harry Olmstead and George Plympton have deviced for this latest Bob Steele oater...don't touch that dial, we're about to see the last reel and the final showdown. . . . . . .B-Western footnote, actor Karl Hackett was among the top villains "Best of the Badmen" (according to a new book by Boyd Magers, Bob Nareau and Bobby Copeland)...Hackett with over 150 films to his credit mainly B-Westerns in just a 12 year stay in Hollywood, one of the busiest of the badmen from 1935-1947, worked mostly for PRC and other independents and seldom for Republic, Universal, Columbia RKO and Paramount....... meanwhile another great B-Western for Bob Steele under the Republic Pictures banner, proves to be one of his most exciting performances.

Special footnote, actor Bob Steele was the son of director Robert N. Bradbury and the age of 14 he and his twin brother Bill Bradbury made a series of comedy shorts "Adventures of Bob and Bill" (1920), directed by their father...along came his first starring western "The Mojave Kid" (1927), released by Film Booking Office of America (FBO) and directed by his father, he changed his name to Bob Steele...making low budget B-Westerns for independent studios such as Republic, Supreme, Monogram and PRC which included nearly 200 feature films, serials and TV appearances...was in his twilight years at the age 59 when he got the part of the cantankerous "Trooper Duffy", in the western comedy series "F Troop" (1965), who at the drop of a hat would give his rendition of fighting "shoulder to shoulder with Davy Crockett at the Alamo"...Steele retired from the screen in 1973...his long career, spanning more than 50 years came to an end in 1988 when he passed away.
