Classic B-Westerns!!!.......2003-03-17

These two films, "Texas Terror," and ""The Trail Beyond" are two great B-westerns starring a young John Wayne. I really enjoy these films. Sure they are not the best written or acted films in the world, but they are entertaining to a very high degree. Everyone should see how John Wayne started out in pictures and compare that to how he finished his career. This serves as inspiration to everyone that human beings can improve themselves to an immeasurable degree.

Trail of Terror - just "o.k." early Bob Steele B-Western.......2005-07-29

This review is for the Alpha Video issued DVD "TRAIL OF TERROR (1935)" starring Bob Steele. This Alpha issued DVD runs a little over 59 minutes. Initially when I watched it I found the picture quality to be poor with the blacks so washed out and faded that they appear light grey. Definitely not one of your pristine transfer jobs. However, I found that if you turn down the brightness and turn up the contrast on your TV the picture is vastly improved to the point that you really can't complain too much. The splices and scratches typical of these older moves are very minimal. But, after making those adjustments to my TV I had to wonder why the manufacturer couldn't have done the same thing when they mastered this film onto DVD to save me the trouble? I guess they don't really care about quality. Also, the sound quality is not great, but good enough considering when this was made - don't get me wrong, you can watch the movie and understand everything being said without being distracted, it's just that it's obviously not up to today's standards. I think the sound in this release is as good as it will ever get. It's just that movies made even just five years after this one seem to have much better sound quality. I guess they were just figuring it all out during that time period.

The film itself is your basic early Bob Steele western - not great in my opinion, but not all that bad either for what it is. Some reviewers rate this movie higher than I do. I have at least two reasons for not listing this film as among Bob's best. The first half of "Trail of Terror" is rather light on action focusing instead on the story line, although it does pick up towards the end. This film is set in the then modern 1930's as opposed to a true western in the 1800's. I greatly prefer the westerns that are set in the real old west as opposed to those set "modern" times. I will say that I've seen several early Bob Steele films and generally they are sub-par for the genre and for that era (pre-1940's), however, this one is one of the better ones from Bob from that time period - not great, but just o.k. It's just that most of Bob's early films were really low-budget productions - it's not his fault as an actor! A much better movie in my opinion is the "Carson City Kid" starring Roy Rogers where Bob Steele is a pretty good bad guy - a great performance for him where he shows his acting ability to better effect. By the way, be sure to check out "Have Gun Will Travel - Season 1" for a great episode called "The High Graders" from the late 50's where Bob Steele plays a bad guy and eventually shoots it out with Paladin. Bob played bit parts in a lot of Westerns even through the 60's - check out Clint Eastwood's "Hang 'em High - 1968."

Bottom line, "Trail of Terror" is just an o.k. early Bob Steele western set in "modern" times, but nothing great.

For some well-made and well produced (for DVD) early westerns check out the Hopalong Cassidy (Platinum is the company putting those out) and Red Ryder series - the DVD transfers on those are generally very good from excellent source material. Also check out the 2 Roan DVD releases of several Roy Rogers movies. There are also some very excellent Johhny Mack Brown DVDs that are very good DVD transfers - check out "Bad Man From Red Butte/Rawhide Ranger".
