Our thanks to Universal...for Great Western fare.......2007-02-16

This is volume 2 of two box sets to be released by Universal, and containing some mighty fine oaters. If past history is any guide, the transfers will excellent, the color great, and the presentation superior! THE TEXANS was one Randolph Scott's first major "A" Western roles, and while the film was criticized as a bit "wooden," it nevertheless is an entertaining film that details the great post-war cattle drives from Texas north. Great supporting cast. Ray Milland is usually not thought of as a Western star, but, as he demonstrates here in CALIFORNIA (and later in COPPER CANYON) he is quite capable in the saddle. Glenn Ford, in THE MAN FROM THE ALAMO, stands out as an accused "deserter" who must prove his bona fides and his honor. Lastly, there is more Audie Murphy--a cause for rejoicing, indeed, with his THE CIMARRON KID (and in vol. 1, his KANSAS RAIDERS). These boxes are reasonabley priced, and all I can add, is "pardner, you'll not be disappointed." Our thanks to Universal!

Description

Originally produced by Republic Pictures, the Red Ryder movies were based on the character created by Fred Harman for his newspaper comic strip, which ran from 1938 to 1964. Legends has it that Red Ryder and his faithful sidekick Little Beaver would go wherever needed, to defend the innocent, bring crooks to justice and restore the peace. There's plenty of double-barreled action in this double-feature starring Allan "Rocky" Lane as the Red Ryder and Bobby Blake as Little Beaver. In the first part of our double-bill, Stagecoach To Denver, villains are prepared to kill a child that stands in the way of their money unless Red Ryder can stop them. This is Lane's second outing as the Red Ryder. In the second film, Vigilantes Of Boomtown, Red Ryder is kidnapped when he is mistaken for a prizefighter training for a championship fight in Carson City. Eventually he is able to escape and foil the plans of the gang of outlaws intent on looting the town's people. Bonus Features: Interview of Peggy Stewart from VCI archives| Photo Gallery of Posters and Comic Book Art| Previews of other VCI Classic Westerns| Actor Bios| Scene Selection. Specs: DVD9; Dolby Digital Mono; 112 minutes; B&W; 1.33:1 Aspect Ratio; MPAA - NR; Year - 1946-1947; SRP - $19.99.

"Allan "Rocky" Lane as Red Ryder ~ Republic Pictures".......2004-09-10

On this second volume of Fred Harman's character from his comic strip "Red Ryder Double Feature" starring Allan Lane as Red Ryder (replacing Wild Bill Elliott) and Bobby Blake (Little Beaver) both were filmed and released by Republic/Sidney Picker Productions ~ directed by R.G. Springsteen in 1946 with screenplays by Earle Snell ~ Lane starred in seven Ryder series, with taut action and well staged fisticuffs between lane and villainous Roy Barcroft.

Opening oat eater is "Stagecoach To Denver" (56 mins-B/W-1946), featuring beautiful Peggy Stewart (Republic Studios leading lady), Martha Wentworth as the Duchess (Red's Aunt), Edward Cassidy as Commissioner Felton, Bobby Hyatt as Dickie Ray who needs an operation from a stagecoach collision, Tom Chatterton as Doc Kimball who will perform the surgery. Emmett Lynn as Coonskin, George Chesebro as Blackie Grubb, Edmund Cobb as Duke, Ted Adam as the not to trusting bad Sheriff, Forrest Taylor as Matt Disher...but all is not going smoothly when our favorite "Bad Guy" Roy Barcroft as Big Bill Lambert enters the picture and his scheme is pure evil (heh, heh, heh)...but never fear in his second Red Ryder Film, Allan "Rocky" Lane will save the day and lock up all the villains and the rest of the Republic stock company in the hoose-gow!

Second is an above average outing "Vigilantes of Boom Town" (54 mins-B/W-1946), featuring our favorite leading lady Peggy Stewart as Molly McVey, George Turner as legendary boxer "Gentleman Jim" Corbett, Roscoe Karns as his manager Billy Delaney, John Dehner (Paladin of radio "Have Gun Will Travel" fame) as Bob Fitzsimmons in a title bout in the state of Nevada in Carson City, George Chesbro as Dink, Eark Hodgins as the Governor of Nevada, Ted Adams as the town sheriff, George Lloyd as a hired hand. Bobby Barber as Corbett's second and of course the "King of the Badmen" alias Mr. Roy Barcroft (real name Howard H. Ravencroft) who never ever disappoints his many fans for all the "boo's & hisses" that will come in the last reel ~ must not leave out the veteran stunt-men and women who bring much of the action, adventure and old west to life through tight fight fisted choreography and galloping chase scenes mixed with "pure excitement" on the big screen.

1. Marshal of Reno (1944)
2. The San Antonio Kid (1944)

Customer Reviews:

Classic Western Escape.......2005-04-14

There's a "feel good" quality about this work. Maybe it's because it represents the settling of the Ole West. Perhaps it's because the "good guys" beat the "bad guys" and all is well in the end. It could be the wonderful panoramic views of the mountains and desert. Whatever it is, this is fun escapism. Certain similarities are found in all four of the episodes on this DVD.

"Convict Story" looks at a prisoner seeking revenge on his release from the state pen. "Oil Land" exposes the greedy nature of those who seek only to live for themselves. "Chain Lightning" and "Ghost Story" have clear cut good verses evil plots. In each case, the Cisco Kid is a better markeman than his adversaries. Pancho provides comic relief. There's always a pretty girl to be rescued. While these scripts were all built on a formula, the pattern works. It's a formula that holds your interest if you're a fan of Westerns.
