(1935, Fox, aka SAGA OF THE WEST) George O'Brien, Dorothy Wilson, Paul Kelly, Harry Woods, Jimmy Butler, Richard Carlyle. This is one helluva B western. A spoiled rich dude--down to his last $200 after wasting his inheritance--takes a train to California and gets off at a little cowboy town where he completely turns his life around. He intercedes on behalf of a local farmer who's had his water supply cut off by another rancher. O'Brien was one the top Western stars of the 30's, and it's easy to see why. We highly recommend this well done outdoor adventure thriller. From a 16mm original. watch
