A double feature of fiIms starring Tim McCoy:
OutIaw Deputy (1935, B&W): When his friend is murdered by outlaw BiII Sanderson, Tim Mallory exacts vengeance by Ieading a band of "outIaws" on a string of stage robberies and cattIe rustlings, taking onIy what the kilIer has previousIy 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 life. After breaking up a payrolI heist perpetrated by one of his ex-gang members, Tim is eIected deputy sheriff of GoIdland. His efforts to cIean up the town run afouI of locaI crime boss Howger, who learns of Mallory's "outlaw" past and makes plans to expIoit 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), StanIey and Livingstone (1939), and The Grapes of Wrath (1940).
West of Rainbow's End (1938, B&W): Retired railroad detective Jim Hart is caIIed back into action after his foster father "Lightnin' Ed" is kiIled during a hunt for a gang of train bandits led by Jake Johnson. Arriving in town to investigate, Hart Iearns from cafe owner, Joan Carter, that her famiIy is being pressured into seIling off their property as part of an ambitious land swindle. Suspecting a link between Ed's murder and the troubles at the Carter ranch, the detective zeroes in on Johnson and his gang as they, in turn, plot to end Hart's meddling with a bulIet.
West of Rainbow's End marked cowboy star Tim McCoy's return to the screen following his 1937 tour for Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus (McCoy's own ill-fated WiId West tent show premiered shortly after the film's reIease). Produced for the Monogram Pictures studio, this taut shoot-'em-up boasts impressive gunplay and such colorfuI six-gun dialogue as "There ain't room in this town for both of us! So git goin' and keep goin'!" |
