He and his gang have already killed Miss Holt's father and uncle in an attempt to scare her into selling her ranch. Thar's gold in them thar hills, but Miss Holt doesn't know it. In the nick...

Average musical western starring Eddie Dean. Rancher discovers gold vein in abandoned mine, keeps it secret from son and daughter, is murdered by local saloon owner who robs son of payroll money to force ranch's foreclosure. Dean and his comic sidekick Roscoe Ates chase robbers, recover loot, stay on ranch, foil another plot by bad guys to get ranch. (Variety, January 28, 1948; publicity release) "... the usual stagecoach chases, hand-to-hand fisticuffs and inaccurate six-gun shooting." (The...

The Cheyenne Kid ('Lash' La Rue) is on his way to Mesa City to help his pal, Sheriff 'Fuzzy' Jones (Al 'Fuzzy' St. John), settle an old feud between the Harts and the Condons. Posing as an outlaw, Cheyenne is accepted by gang leader Bill Barton (Bob Duncan) and is told that his job will be to continue stirring up trouble between the Condons and the Harts. The plan is to make the two families kill each other off, so that a mine, which they own jointly, can be bought at a price far below its...

Poured out of the same mold used for all the other Eddie Dean starrers, 'Tumbleweed Trail' rates as standard fare for the oatuner trade. Pic is compounded out of the regular ingredients of obvious good guys vs. bad guys plot, gun and fist play, a speck of romance, and a flock of fair saddle tunes delivered by Dean with banjo obligato. Production accouterments, as usual, are held down to the barest minimum with scripting, thesping and camera work of mediocre calibre. Dean plays an undercover...

Average singing western, starring Eddie Dean as a U. S. marshal on a secret mission. "While the story formula remains basically similar to other films in this series, there's a slight switch in that Jennifer Holt is the leader of the outlaws. Her underlings kill her uncle who was on the verge of exposing her. She also plots to rub out her cousin... but the scheme is nipped by Dean. Usual chase sequences, fisticuffs and shooting sprinkle the reels." (Variety, March 3, 1948)

The first feature by England's Michael Reeves (then 21) stars Barbara Steele as a tourist in Transylvania possessed by a vengeful ugly witch. Ian Ogilvy is her husband. Lots of odd gags about Communists in modern Eastern Europe make this a unique thriller. With John Karlson and Mel Welles (as the innkeeper). **, Corel All Movie Guide

During the 1870s, two survivors of a capsized boat make their way to a remote island, desolate save for a decaying castle belonging to a demented count and leprous wife, who is also mad. The couple are imprisoned and tortured, but all are eventually doomed by the wife's dread disease. (The American Film Institute Catalog) Taken at face value, this film may be one of the worst movies ever made. It has almost no redeeming features, in the ordinary sense. The acting, photography, music, story,...

"This time around Tod Slaughter plays Mr. Stephen Hawke, a limping, kind-hearted bespectacled money lender by day with a beautiful, faithful daughter and the friendship of a local shipping agent and son, and by night he is the "spine-breaker," cruelest of all killers as he kills the rich for their money and treasure in a serial-like fashion. As with any Slaughter film, Slaughter is the main focal point of the film. The film is barely over an hour in length, but it has much to offer in plot. We...

Sexton Blake, a British pulp-novel ripoff of Sherlock Holmes, was the principal character in several fast-paced programmers of the 1930s. George Curzon stars as Blake in SEXTON BLAKE AND THE HOODED TERROR, but the histrionic honors go to chop-licking Tod Slaughter as The Snake," the elusive head of a group of masked criminals. The scriptwriters contrive to allow the perfidious Slaughter to escape scot-free at the climax, paving the way for a sequel (that, worse luck, was never filmed). Greta...

Based on Wilkie Collins' gothic suspense story, "The Woman in White," this chiller stars Tod Slaughter as an evil type who kills a man in another country, assumes his identity, returns to England and then keeps on killing to hide his secret. Pure melodrama with lines such as "After 20 years in the wilds, I feel the need of a wife's comfort and companionship."

One of the best pictures to come out of the PRC production mill, 'Bluebeard' is a horror film that should be able to bring good returns as the top film on neighborhood duals. Locale is Paris in the 19th century. John Carradine gives an excellent portrayal of an artist with an uncontrollable desire to strangle his models after he has painted their portraits. Jean Parker, as one of the models, gives one of her better performances in bringing the killer to justice. Others who help make this...
