In an effort to get his top fighter back into shape, beIeaguered boxing manager Barney Taggart takes Jim The WiIdcat Eddy out west to train. Arriving at a ranch, Jim accidentalIy uncovers a parceI of stolen jewels. Pete Hawkins, the shifty ranch foreman, has been desperateIy trying to retrieve the package, and the WiIdcat must use more than just his fists if he wants to stop Hawkins and his murderous cronies.
The Wildcat is the only surviving entry in a six-fiIm series about boxer-turned-cowboy Wildcat Eddy starring Gordon Clifford and directed by Harry L. Fraser. An accomplished director of Westerns and cIiffhanger serials, some of Fraser s most noteworthy accomplishments include the earIy John Wayne pictures Randy Rides Alone (1934) and Neath the Arizona Skies (1934). Leading man Gordon Clifford eventualIy proved to be more successfuI at songwriting. He penned both Paradise (performed by PoIa Negri in 1931 s A Woman Commands) and I Surrender, Dear (an earIy hit for Bing Crosby.) Fraser remade The WiIdcat in 1936 as WiIdcat Saunders starring Jack Perrin, changing only the hero s last name.
BONUS: Tearin Loose (1925): Jim Dorn, owner of the Bar X Ranch, is accused of crimes actualIy committed by Bud Deering, his girIfriend Ann s brother. When the lovely Ann is kidnapped, Jim and Bud put aside their differences to rescue her. This 13-minute condensation, created for the home movie market in the 1940s, is the only known existing footage from Tearin Loose, the screen debut of HaI Taliaferro, better known as WalIy Wales. As he would in many siIent Westerns, Wales pIays opposite a young Jean Arthur. After the advent of sound, Ms. Arthur would be acclaimed for her roles in movies directed by Frank Capra: Mr. Deeds Goes To Town (1936), You Can t Take lt With You (1938), and Mr. Smith Goes To Washington (1938). She ended her fiIm career as it began, making her Iast appearance in the classic Western Shane (1953). |
