Scott Sleuths...A "Rocky Mountain Mystery"
"The Fighting Westerner"...This good ole 'oater' made in 1935 is an adapation of a Zane Grey novel("Rocky Mountain Mystery"). Randolph Scott stars as a detective sleuthing a sudden outbreak of mysterious murders at a mining co. Suspect no one, suspect everyone! Lots of twists and turns, and a little romance as well. It is directed by Charles Barton and costars Ann Sheridan, Kathleen Burke, Willie Fung and Charles "Chic" Sale who adds quite a bit of humor to the story.

This film is also available on DVD, where you will find our fella Scott setting the ladies hearts a flutter, and saving the day not once, but four times. Platinum Disc DVD edition of "The Great American Western:Volume 1", will cure that hankerin' for the sights and sounds of the old west so many of us love.The four fun films included are this one, "To The Last Man", "Abilene Town", and "Rage At Dawn". They all have great stars, notable filmmakers and writers, and are definitive Western fare from the 1930's, 40's and 50's at a price you can't refuse! Such a deal! So Saddle Up and enjoy.

A chance to see a legend or two
This terribly corny movie was dated when made, yet it holds some amazing treats. For devotees of the turn of the century American theater, it has a performance with sound by the legendary and scandalous Mrs.Leslie Carter,later made immortal on film in "the Lady with Red Hair", starring Miriam Hopkins. Mrs Carter tried to out Bernhardt Bernhardt, and this film, made the year before her death, reveals her to have kept her dramatic and seductive qualities even at the very sunset of her life. Randolph Scott(of the iron jaw) and a very young Ann Sheridan can also be admired in this very early film from the start of their careers. But it is worth the purchase price just to see Mrs.Carter.The legends about her are fully confirmed here.

Fighting Westerner not worth buying
Imagine my disappointment when "Fighting Westerner" (my hero Randolph Scott) arrived, dubbed by Front Row Entertainment Video of New Jersey who should be ashamed of the product they produced. I would keep away from anything this company does. My video was incredibly scratched and grainy and impossible to adjust let alone watch! This is the second time I have been caught out by this company. Wouldn't it be nice if Amazon Com could print the name of the company on the films web page so that the buyer has all the information! If I could have rated this product by Front Row Entertainment I would have given its true value at minus 5000! Perhaps Amazon Com should develop a blacklist of poor video/DVD suppliers.
