A good movie from 1939. No wonder children back then loved going to the movies on Saturday. Thank you for bringing this show to you tube. I enjoyed watching it. God bless.
The money for the B westerns was slim. Tho, Bonanza w/the Cartwright’s they basically had same clothes. It was a tight budget going to the first color series.
Flash Gordon serials were not the origin of some of the background music mentioned. Listen to some of the original music Franz Waxman composed for "Bride of Frankenstein".....1935. Also the theme for "The Invisible Man"....1933, was used over and over again in all three of Universal's Flash Gordon serials as well as their "Buck Rogers" 1939 serial.
Western B da série estrelada na Universal por Johnny Mack Brown, sob a direção de Ralph Staub. Sua première norte-americana deu-se em 29 de novembro de 1939, e o lançamento em 24 de janeiro de 40. Passou no Brasil como "Chip, o audacioso".
Some odd casting in this movie. The ranch owner and Doctor are cast as brother and sister. It didn't look right to me, so i checked their ages, and there's a 34 year age difference between the actors. Why didn't they cast them as father and daughter, or get a younger actor to play the brother.
why would they allow a man to play a dolt to totally ruin a good series like Fuzzy, like one person said a little comedy is fine , but they allow the fuzzy man to ruin the series
Read the original Chip of the Flying U book by B. M. Bower, a much better story than this adapted script. It is in the public domain on the gutenberg.org site. There are many books by Montanan B. M. Bower, and quite a few were about the Flying U, all wonderful contemporary novels with authentic characters of Montana and other western states in the early 20th century.
The character played by Fuzzy totally ruins the movie, along with every other movie He ever played in. A little comedy is ok, but, when you make the character so ignorant that performing any & all simple tasks is out of the question, it takes away the fact that it's supposed to be a western, not a comedy.
This is 1939. People didn't have TV so they went to the Saturday Matinees at the local theatre. These movies were made by the dozens, and viewed like a TV series. Very popular entertainment! The actors, characters, and musicians were household names.
For your info it takes a talented actor to do a bad actor’s role. Sal Salyard in JMB films was a good actor playing same comedic role as Fuzzy Knight in earlier films.
