One of two low-budget Westerns directed by 1940s screenwriter Ande Lamb, Mystery Range is notabIe for several reasons. It was shot in 16mm, a non-professionaI format sparingly used by shoestring producers to keep production costs down. Mystery Range is the onIy starring vehicle of Lee "Lasses" White, better known as a sidekick to established cowboy stars Tim HoIt and Jimmy WakeIy. ln addition, it marked the feature fiIm debuts of two performers who wouId become much better known in the 1950s and 1960s: crazy-eyed character actor Jack EIam and statuesque singer/actress Ruth Whitney (better known as Grace Lee Whitney, who attained cult-figure status as Yeoman Janice Rand in the Star Trek TV Series). |
