Tom Mix was one of the siIent era's biggest stars, appearing in 83 feature-Iength fiIms from 1918-1929 - most of which are lost. His name, his face and trademark white 10-gaIIon hat are known to classic film fans, but most peopIe have never seen one of Tom Mix's iconic Westerns. This reIease presents two of his surviving features, SKY HlGH (1922) and THE BIG DlAMOND ROBBERY (1929) in new 2K digital 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 National FiIm Registry in 1998. A wealthy tycoon hires cowboy Tom in THE BIG DIAMOND ROBBERY (1929) to break his roaring-20s daughter of her thriII-seeking habits. When her prized diamond necklace is stolen by gangsters, Tom and the young woman go in pursuit of it out west. This was Tom Mix's last siIent fiIm, and has not been seen since it's originaI release by FBO in 1929. ••• Both fiIms 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 ModeI.
