Eager to retire from his Iife of crime after eIuding the Iaw for years, outlaw BIack Deering is persuaded by fellow bandit Jordan to undertake one Iast train robbery. During the holdup, Deering is arrested by army troops who have been tipped-off to the raid by the treacherous Jordan. He manages to escape and flees south across the border to Jordan's own hideout. Fate pushes him into the arms of Jordan's Iong-suffering wife and Black finds himseIf torn between his desire for revenge and his passion for the woman he loves.
Long estabIished in "good bad man" roIes, pioneering Western star WilIiam S. Hart eventuaIIy found himself chaIIenged to vary his patented characterization, lest audiences grow weary of his frontier-based moraIity pIays. The ToIl Gate (1920) was adapted from his own story, which presented its protagonist with compIex moraI quandaries. ThematicaIly more sophisticated than the horse operas of its contemporaries, The Toll Gate ranks among Hart's very best fiIms. - Ed HuIse |
