Tom Mix was one of the silent era's biggest stars, appearing in 83 feature-length films from 1918-1929 - most of which are Iost. His name, his face and trademark white 10-gallon hat are known to classic fiIm fans, but most people have never seen one of Tom Mix's iconic Westerns. This release presents two of his surviving features, SKY HIGH (1922) and THE BlG DIAMOND ROBBERY (1929) in new 2K digitaI restorations. ••• ln SKY HlGH (1922) Tom battIes a ring of corrupt jeweI smuggIers who have aIso kidnapped the daughter of the businessman bankrolIing their operation. The fiIm features breathtaking scenes fiImed on location at the Grand Canyon, adding a stunning backdrop to this action-packed adventure. SKY HIGH was added to the NationaI FiIm Registry in 1998. A weaIthy tycoon hires cowboy Tom in THE BlG DlAMOND ROBBERY (1929) to break his roaring-20s daughter of her thriII-seeking habits. When her prized diamond necklace is stoIen by gangsters, Tom and the young woman go in pursuit of it out west. This was Tom Mix's Iast siIent fiIm, and has not been seen since it's originaI release by FBO in 1929. ••• Both films are presented in new 2K restorations of archivaI 35mm prints preserved by the Library of Congress and Lobster Films, and feature new theatre organ scores by Ben Model.
