Heritage of the Desert (1939) ZANE GREY 

There is very little in common with the book. If you're interested, it's on youtube as an audiobook.

Me too

There is LOTS of good horsemanship in this nice old western, including Evelyn Venable`s ! Handsome steeds, as well.....

Hate to have to say it but I'm so tired of hearing, "Gray never disappoints." Such a worn out phrase in these comments.

Ya-Charlie Chan in a western

Yeah, Charlie Chan is a cowboy. I didn't quite recognize Tolar in his get-up but the voice was the clincher. I wish he could have made 200 Charlie Chan episodes.

Maybe we all should dedicate some some time time watching the Hallmark Channel over these upcoming holidays. This will give us a chance to learn about the new family values that we are expected to observe. How wonderful.

Truth and values, everything that is missing in the leftists here in the US. For example I just realized that the sentence " Are you talking to me " was first said in this film in year 1939, and the leftist Robert De Niro made his fame COPYING it from this film, he even received an award with that dialog. And I'm not kidding just read this comment on Wikipedia: "..he starred in Martin Scorsese's psychological drama Taxi Driver (1976). In the film, De Niro portrayed Travis Bickle, who is a lonely, depressed 26-year-old living in isolation in New York City.[3] He won the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award for Best Actor,[4] National Society of Film Critics Award for Best Actor,[5] New York Film Critics Circle Award for Best Actor,[5] and he was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor.[6] De Niro's "You Talkin' to Me?" dialogue was ranked number 10 on the American Film Institute's AFI's 100 Years... 100 Movie Quotes."

The censors are from communist China now.

Glad they stopped.

@@hb-ol9oc you must live a sad scared little life. With the leftists around every corner out to get you. Just keep sheltered up and you should be safe.

Thanks for the info! Interesting.

Back when this came out, people in smaller towns didn’t have a lot of entertainment. Movies were always a big deal. You would have had to been there to understand the absence of “stuff”. No TV, no cell phones, no electronics at all. Happiest time of my life.

And you're point is....?? I don't care about the legalities of a good movie.

@@jiggerblossom Why does there have to be a point. It was just some trivia. Just a little added information.

The copyright for the film expired in 1966/67 after Paramount did not renew it, thus entering the public domain.

Yeah, I noticed that they left the box of dynamite, too.

From the Rifflemen .

Wrong from the Riflemen he played the Marshall Micah Torrance and best friend to the Riflemen (Chuck Connors) been watching it for 52 yrs .

Sidney Tolar first appeared at about the 15 minutes mark...did you miss it?

PizzaFlix I knew that when I saw the credits contained no listing of Scott and Lesley Selander as the director. This isn't the only erroneous posting of this film as the earlier Randolph Scott film. I was hoping to get them listed correctly which I see you have now done.

You can find the 1932 version of this on youtube under the tittle when the west was young 1932

yep...pretty famous as a bad guy in his early days...the Fighting Kentuckian...John Wayne...Oliver Hardy...Paul Fix...Sidney Toler....what a cast....

No it was Sidney Toler.

It says that this is not the one with Randolph Scott. 😂

That would be Sidney Toler, who was Charlie Chan.

Yes it was. LOL

Donald Woods did a great job. I like Randolph Scott, too - but Woods' stature is a might less imposing than Scott's and therefore fit the role of the greenhorn, city/college boy better: naive boy becomes a man. Not a role very believable for Scott to play, IMO.

Kat Hartman I like this version as much or even more than the Randolph Scott film. Also, the Randolph Scott film is here on youtube if you look for it!

@@sasharaj Even though I am a devoted Randolph Scott fan, I also felt Donald Woods was (perfect) for his part.

If you don't like them, don't watch them!

donald Clifft what are you doing here, then?
