Actor: Tom Tyler, Lane Chandler, Lafe McKee, Caryl Lincoln, Charles Whittaker Director: J.P. McGowan Genre:Western Year: 1933 Studio:Alpha Video Length: 58 minutes Released:June 25, 2013 Rating: Not Rated Format: DVD (NTSC/Region 1) Misc:Black & White Language: English Subtitles : N/A
DESCRIPTION:
Duke Bradley fences off his vast land holdings setting off a range war with his arch rival, Bull Harris, who is willing to fight for free-passage. When his son, Tom, begs him to reconsider, Duke flies off the handle and throws him out of the house. Tom discovers, perhaps too late, that his father's foreman is secretly planning to steal dad's entire herd and he may be too late to save him from losing everything.
After driving a chariot in the silent version of Ben-Hur, Tom Tyler began appearing in western features and serials. The former weight lifting champion (said to have hoisted an astonishing 760 lbs.) possessed a natural athletic strength and grace that made him a fan favorite. In 1940, he terrified audiences as the monster Kharis, in The Mummy's Hand. A year later he reached the zenith of his popularity in the title role in The Adventures of Captain Marvel. In addition to his starring roles in "B" movies, he appeared in major studio film productions including Stagecoach, Drums Along The Mohawk, She Wore A Yellow Ribbon, The Westerner and Red River.
The last of three Tom Tyler Westerns produced by Gower Gulch regular John R. Freuler, WAR OF THE RANGE featured the strapping former silent star as a cowboy settling a dispute between homesteaders and proponents of a free range. J.P. McGowan of HAZARDS OF HELEN fame directed in his accustomed economical style and the supporting cast constituted the usual Poverty Row directory of former "names," this time including Charles K. French and 1929 WAMPAS Baby Star Caryl Lincoln as the farmer and his daughter respectively, as well as Lane Chandler, a handsome former Paramount star now down on his luck. Ted Adams, a comparative newcomer, played the head of the opposing cattle ranchers.
