Thanks for sharing another terrific movie! While the story is predictable a strong cast makes this well worth watching! Never thought that I would see Jack LaRue in a western and this is a pleasant surprise!
What a lovely scene when she comes upon him a sort of wraith of the woods, and stares at him shaving without his shirt on in the firelight. Her comments about the muscles in his arms. All very simple and their tenuous sweetness is far from a tawdry inference like you'd expect today. Two beautiful young people in the prime of youth.
Very enjoyable film, thanks. Shirley Temple was almost kicked by the mule during the shoot. She ducked & then went over to the mule & kicked it. lol That was a real bullet fired by a sharpshooter that hit the doll's head just a couple feet away from Temple. Crazy!
A unique way of announcing the credits that I've never seen in any other film. Showing them at when they appear in the film, instead of at the beginning en masse. I like it.
This actor credit method was done mostly during the silent film era. However, the earliest silent films did not even list the actors in the title sequence at all. Thomas Edison tried to monopolize the early film industry & one way he did this was by omitting the actors names in an attempt to prevent them from acquiring a large popular following, which he feared would result in them demanding higher wages. Other producers followed suit. Early on, actors were known by their character names; "Little Mary" (Mary Pickford), "The Biograph Girl" (Florence Lawrence) etc. Beginning in 1909, the "Star System" of theater began to take root in film, aided by publicity stories of film stars going to print of that same year. Carl Laemmle's famous Florence Lawrence being killed by a streetcar in NYC publicity stunt of 1910, with full-blown ad campaign against Edison was a media blitz & smashing success. By 1911, studios began promoting their films on their star power.
Two years a star, Temple, 5 yrs, was featured in 10 other films in 1933. Where are her 56 perfect curls? You can watch Noah Beery Sr and Jr in their only shared film, "The Trail Beyond," 1934, with John Wayne, two yrs before Sr's death from a heart attack.
Esther Ralston had a wonderful speaking voice, too bad her career didn't carry from the Silent Era into talkies (mostly doing low budget films like this).
She was a natural actress. No typical stage delivery. They were attractive together and Randolph seemed more naturally romantic with her than other actresses.
If you want to see great movies you don't have to look up just the great actors look up great directors like this one Henry Hathaway, he's got a long list of great ones. He can make good actors out of a rock!
Surprise, surprise! Even Randolph Scott was young once. So far, I've only seen him as an elderly man with a clear-cut wrinkled face.😊 @25:00 an old western topos: He is coming to the rescue of a damsel in distress in what seems to be an eye-for-an-eye story. Was he ever a villain or a crook or a con man?
Not the same Jay North; Jay Waverly North (born August 3, 1951) is an American actor. His career as a child actor began in the late 1950s with roles in eight TV series, two variety shows and three feature films.
GREAT FLICK / IF I COULD ONLY FIND LIKE A WOMAN LIKE THAT / BUT LIKE ME OLD MAN WOULD SAY " ONLY IN THE MOVIES SON , ONLY IN THE MOVIES / YOU WERE RIGHT POP'S ( R. I .P. ) HE IS WITH MA AND MY KID BROTHER / I MISS MY FATHER SO BAD IT HURTS BUT I WILL SEE THEN ALL SOON THANK GOD ALL MIGHTY / KEEP THE FAITH , JESUS SAVES
NO frickin way can anyone pluck hot lead from a hot mold without burning the flesh off. It may be an old movie, but more people back then poured their own than they do now and someone should have caught it.
Randolph Scott was born in January of 1898, the U.S. entered WWI in April of 1917, so he was 19 years old when he served as an artillery observer in France. (Ambrose Bierce was slightly younger when he joined the Union Army as a volunteer in April 1861.)
It’s not about age. It’s about quality. This is pretty good for a low-budget “B” Western, but better examples of 1933 films are KING KONG, the German film M and the Marx Brothers comedy DUCK SOUP - all classics.
Early Randy Scott doing a terrible line delivery. This may have been 1933, but even early talkies had better deliveries from actors then this. Wonder if 'Randy' had acquired any of his 'Party Boy' rep he had in later years when he made this movie.
