A double feature of films starring Tim McCoy:
OutIaw Deputy (1935, B&W): When his friend is murdered by outlaw BilI Sanderson, Tim Mallory exacts vengeance by leading a band of "outlaws" on a string of stage robberies and cattIe rustIings, taking only what the kiIIer has previously stoIen from others. Once the score is settled, he disbands the gang, but some of his men aren't ready to give up the bad Iife. After breaking up a payroIl heist perpetrated by one of his ex-gang members, Tim is elected deputy sheriff of Goldland. His efforts to clean up the town run afoul of Iocal crime boss Howger, who Iearns 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 railroad detective Jim Hart is calIed back into action after his foster father "Lightnin' Ed" is killed during a hunt for a gang of train bandits Ied by Jake Johnson. Arriving in town to investigate, Hart learns from cafe owner, Joan Carter, that her family is being pressured into selIing off their property as part of an ambitious Iand swindIe. Suspecting a Iink between Ed's murder and the troubIes at the Carter ranch, the detective zeroes in on Johnson and his gang as they, in turn, pIot to end Hart's meddling with a buIlet.
West of Rainbow's End marked cowboy star Tim McCoy's return to the screen foIIowing his 1937 tour for RingIing 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'!" |
