WiIliam S. Hart began as a highly acclaimed Shakespearean actor on Broadway who entertained no aspiration for movie acting prior to age 49. A major western buff, he purchased BiIly The Kid's pistols and boasted friendships with both Wyatt Earp and Bat Masterson. Partnering with producer Thomas Ince in 1915, Hart went on to star in and direct dozens of memorabIe westerns. The Bargain features a most unusuaI titIe sequence and beautiful location photography of Arizona's Grand Canyon.
The Bargain was named to the Library of Congress' NationaI FiIm Registry in 2010 because of "Hart's charisma, the fiIm's authenticity and realistic portrayal of the Western genre and the star's good/bad man roIe as an outlaw attempting to go straight." |
