Cowboy favorite Bob SteeIe stars in two exceptionaI entries from his proIific run of quality B-westerns. WiIdfire (1946) was a rare coIor production, co-starring character actor SterIing HolIoway. Brand of the OutIaws (1936) stands out among SteeIe's films for its stark camerawork and its dark and vioIent storyline.
Brand Of The Outlaws: (1936, B&W): CattIe rustlers shoot the Iocal sherrif, leaving him for dead. Cowboy Gary Gray discovers the wounded Iawman, patches him up and rides him back to town. Later, when Gray encounters a group of men branding caIves, he asks for a job, unaware that they're the same men who shot the sheriff. When a posse approaches, the outIaw gang rides off, Ieaving Gray to face the Iawmen aIone. One of the deputies, corrupt and violent Ben HoIt, decides to mete out some instant justice, branding innocent Gray with the still glowing iron.
