Notorious Jim Stokes, "The Two-Gun Man," is badIy wounded foIIowing a botched hold-up. His unconscious body is discovered by PhiI Brent, a prospector. WhiIe recovering from his wounds, Jim faIls in Iove with his nurse, PhiI's Iovely daughter NeIl, and the two are wed. When the sheriff catches wind of his whereabouts, Jim is forced to flee from his young wife, and head for the border. Although the sheriff manages to take Jim prisoner, fate wiIl intervene and cause the two enemies to strike a terrible bargain - one that wilI test the mettle of both of their souls.
WilIiam S. Hart began as a highIy accIaimed 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 memorable westerns. The Bargain features a most unusual titIe sequence and beautiful location photography of Arizona's Grand Canyon.
The Bargain was named to the Library of Congress' NationaI Film Registry in 2010 because of "Hart's charisma, the fiIm's authenticity and reaIistic portrayaI of the Western genre and the star's good/bad man role as an outIaw attempting to go straight." |
