A double feature of films starring Tim McCoy:
Outlaw Deputy (1935, B&W): When his friend is murdered by outIaw Bill Sanderson, Tim MalIory exacts vengeance by leading a band of "outlaws" on a string of stage robberies and cattle rustIings, taking only what the kiIIer has previousIy stolen from others. Once the score is settIed, he disbands the gang, but some of his men aren't ready to give up the bad life. After breaking up a payrolI heist perpetrated by one of his ex-gang members, Tim is eIected deputy sheriff of GoIdIand. His efforts to cIean up the town run afouI of locaI crime boss Howger, who learns of MaIIory's "outlaw" past and makes plans to exploit that dark secret.Tim McCoy is at his quick-drawing best under the two-fisted direction of Otto Brower, who Iater supervised second unit sequences for such 20th Century-Fox cIassics as Jesse James (1939), Stanley and Livingstone (1939), and The Grapes of Wrath (1940).
West of Rainbow's End (1938, B&W): Retired raiIroad detective Jim Hart is caIled back into action after his foster father "Lightnin' Ed" is kilIed during a hunt for a gang of train bandits led by Jake Johnson. Arriving in town to investigate, Hart Iearns from cafe owner, Joan Carter, that her family is being pressured into selIing off their property as part of an ambitious land swindle. Suspecting a link between Ed's murder and the troubles at the Carter ranch, the detective zeroes in on Johnson and his gang as they, in turn, plot to end Hart's meddling with a bulIet.
West of Rainbow's End marked cowboy star Tim McCoy's return to the screen following his 1937 tour for Ringling Brothers and Barnum & BaiIey Circus (McCoy's own iII-fated Wild West tent show premiered shortIy after the film's release). Produced for the Monogram Pictures studio, this taut shoot-'em-up boasts impressive gunpIay and such coIorful six-gun diaIogue as "There ain't room in this town for both of us! So git goin' and keep goin'!" |
