Glad to see these old westerns stand the test of time .
Awesome to see the wonderful Zane Gray stories done so beautifully, without the carnage of modern "screenwriters" destructions. This is very well done.
There is very little in common with the book. If you're interested, it's on youtube as an audiobook.
Score Zane Gray! Score script, actors, crew, production values, music, denoument. Thank you for sharing!
I love these old westerns. I saw them on Saturday afternoon during the early 50’s.
Me too
I just watched Sidney Toler in another Zane Grey movie, Mark of the Avenger, also made in 1939. He had a busy 1939; that is the year that he first played Charlie Chan. At about 43:00 in this movie, Sidney Toler is making Flap-Jacks and he tells his friend to come on.. "I can't be flapping these flip-jacks for you all day !" That was good...!!
Favorite line in movie ... " I can't be flapping these flipjacks for you all day. " lmao!!!!
Im new to Zane Grey family. Love westerns all of my life. Actually watched this as a kid and a few times as an adult. This is an all time favorite. Thanks for sharing it!
Paul Fix in his younger acting days sure wasn’t the Marshal of North Fork character. He was one of those gunslingers gone to upholding law. Always enjoying seeing him.
Zane Grey wrote great books and they made great film
This may not be the 'Beethoven's Fifth Symphony; of westerns, but it could easily sit in for which ever one is. Near-perfection in every way. Thank you for posting this!
Anything written by Zane Gray is good enough for me. Gray never disappoints. PS: Russ Hayden was an expert horseman, much better than most actors.
There is LOTS of good horsemanship in this nice old western, including Evelyn Venable`s ! Handsome steeds, as well.....
Hate to have to say it but I'm so tired of hearing, "Gray never disappoints." Such a worn out phrase in these comments.
My uncle Mack Griffin read every Zane Grey book there ever was. in print.
Its great to see a great western when the guns run out of ammo. Cheers Tippo. UK . GB.
There once was a time when Hollywood portrayed the values of life and family and honor and love , truth and values .
There once was such a time .
Maybe we all should dedicate some some time time watching the Hallmark Channel over these upcoming holidays. This will give us a chance to learn about the new family values that we are expected to observe. How wonderful.
Truth and values, everything that is missing in the leftists here in the US. For example I just realized that the sentence " Are you talking to me " was first said in this film in year 1939, and the leftist Robert De Niro made his fame COPYING it from this film, he even received an award with that dialog. And I'm not kidding just read this comment on Wikipedia: "..he starred in Martin Scorsese's psychological drama Taxi Driver (1976). In the film, De Niro portrayed Travis Bickle, who is a lonely, depressed 26-year-old living in isolation in New York City.[3] He won the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award for Best Actor,[4] National Society of Film Critics Award for Best Actor,[5] New York Film Critics Circle Award for Best Actor,[5] and he was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor.[6] De Niro's "You Talkin' to Me?" dialogue was ranked number 10 on the American Film Institute's AFI's 100 Years... 100 Movie Quotes."
The censors are from communist China now.
Glad they stopped.
@@hb-ol9oc you must live a sad scared little life. With the leftists around every corner out to get you. Just keep sheltered up and you should be safe.
The wise father had a blind spot that a stage could have been driven through.
Yes, and this greenhorn, reaching right between the rocks, without checking for rattlesnakes or scorpions.....
From a killer to being sheriff of Northfork. The old west was a wonderful place indeed.
Thanks for the great old Western Classics :))
Sidney Toler as Nosey. Pleasant surprise.
Ya-Charlie Chan in a western
Yeah, Charlie Chan is a cowboy. I didn't quite recognize Tolar in his get-up but the voice was the clincher. I wish he could have made 200 Charlie Chan episodes.
This really old ones can usually surprise you. This flick looked kinda so so but was pretty darn good. You can always get picky, but it cuts the mustard.
Back when this came out, people in smaller towns didn’t have a lot of entertainment. Movies were always a big deal. You would have had to been there to understand the absence of “stuff”. No TV, no cell phones, no electronics at all. Happiest time of my life.
Perfectly good western, even without Randolph Scott.
youtube also has the 1932 Scott version.
And, an audiobook reading of the entire original novel.
Alas, probably next to impossible to find the 1924 movie version.
Thanks for the info! Interesting.
Excellent movie. I've seen it one other time. I'll save it to watch again if it doesn't get deleted or it's of a private collection. That happens on alot of the one's I save.
I just bought a first edition of this novel for $5 from the 2nd shop. Very excited to read it and watch the film edition!
Sidney Toler aka Nosey also played Charlie Chan.
ZG had a place down the road north of Darien, Conn. in horse country. He would visit in his red MG. As a child I sendmber the car and his Tenn. walking horse.
The "old man" was Wolverstone in Captain Blood and was in at least 130 other movies.
Other than John Abbott leaving a whole case of dynamite right under 2 lit sticks, & not being able to whup a man (Holderness) twice his age---this was a FINE old-time western. Zane Grey`s book was even better !
Yeah, I noticed that they left the box of dynamite, too.
This film was technically a Paramount film, it has no Paramount logo at the beginning and end of the film, except "The End" title card was plastered. This came from a 16mm print and it was from a 24-DVD set called "Cowboy Classics" with 100 rare western movies.
According to the content on the DVD sleeve, the movie was from 1932 was wrong, but it was from 1939 according to IMDB. There was an original version from 1932 which was considered lost.
And you're point is....?? I don't care about the legalities of a good movie.
@@jiggerblossom Why does there have to be a point. It was just some trivia. Just a little added information.
The copyright for the film expired in 1966/67 after Paramount did not renew it, thus entering the public domain.
A total joy. Thank you!
🌹Education elevates every 🌹Economic Development Community 🌹for the good of all!! 🌹Very inspiring & 🌹thought provoking.🤩👏💯🌹🙏💫👈
The film is currently in the Public Domain after Paramount, the original owner of the film, failed to renew the copyright in time.
Saw this one great story
🙃☕❤️❤️❤️❤️🤠🐎
The young guy played Lucky with Hopa Long Cassidy. Great actor.
The dad’s stubbornness and stupidity got all his sons killed ...
Thanks for sharing it! I always enjoy watching Old Western Movies though. 👍👌👏
An of course, I'm a subscriber!
Thanks Again Though.
If it's Zane Grey it is good for me.
The only name I recognized in the cast was Paul Fix. Fix in The Rifleman as his regular character in the series, Marshal Torrance.
The one with Randolph Scott is titled "When t was Young", 1932.
The great actors and stunt men were great then
Almost Perfect - Very Beautiful.
wow great movie, thanks Pizza
Forgot its Zane's theatre it b good to watch🤗🤗😎
see Sheriff Micah Torrance (Paul Fix)from The Rifleman in the cast.
love sydney toler in this! soooo cute!
Good movie but would have been so very much better if they followed the book instead of looping together parts of 2 or 3 books.
43 minutes, the high point of the movie! Charlie Chan makes an appearance.
Sidney Tolar first appeared at about the 15 minutes mark...did you miss it?
A very young Paul Fix!
From the Rifflemen .
Wrong from the Riflemen he played the Marshall Micah Torrance and best friend to the Riflemen (Chuck Connors) been watching it for 52 yrs .
GREAT STUFF!
Having a tough time finding Randolph in here.
PizzaFlix I knew that when I saw the credits contained no listing of Scott and Lesley Selander as the director. This isn't the only erroneous posting of this film as the earlier Randolph Scott film. I was hoping to get them listed correctly which I see you have now done.
You can find the 1932 version of this on youtube under the tittle when the west was young 1932
Excellent Movie!,,,
Paul Fix is just a kid in this western.
yep...pretty famous as a bad guy in his early days...the Fighting Kentuckian...John Wayne...Oliver Hardy...Paul Fix...Sidney Toler....what a cast....
Gripping at Begining😎🤗
Another good show 👏 👌
I’m surprised Russell Hayden wasn’t chasing the girl first time I saw him shot and killed
lucky it was slow quicksand
I agree ZG was a good story teller and the books are better than the film's. This version is well in a lot of places besides the box of dynamite, there's a lot of unrelated stupid action all thru it. People were still amazed by ""moving pictures", that content and style was sometimes silly. This one had a poor director.
Stupid does not =suspense
But that idea is still used in movies today.
The running and breaking a high heel...that never ending,"pocket" inside shirts where money, maps etc seems to always go...
When one sees them more as cartoons, it helps.
The theatre of the mind and a ZG book & a full pipe is more my style.
love it when the bad guy gets what's comin' to him JUSTICE SERVED hahahahahaha Bad guys SUCK!!
Well I did like to see Sydney Tooler, Better known to me is Charlie Chan And the California desert and Olive squirrel we need to just leave it alone,????
Nice!
Dats 4wD Horse power😎🤗
A young Paul Fix as a bad man.
A good ol shttkicker.
Randolph Scott? You serious? This is the 1939movie not the 1932 one with Scott.
It says that this is not the one with Randolph Scott. 😂
look for charlie chan as abbots sidekick
That would be Sidney Toler, who was Charlie Chan.
Yes it was. LOL
Warner Orland, charlie chan in this movie.
No it was Sidney Toler.
Truly Capterzaneing.😆😎
Why would you want your daughter to marry a drunk?
It was entertaining
Needs more cowbell
Very disappointing. I wanted to see the Randolph Scott version, not this one. Boo, hiss.
Donald Woods did a great job. I like Randolph Scott, too - but Woods' stature is a might less imposing than Scott's and therefore fit the role of the greenhorn, city/college boy better: naive boy becomes a man. Not a role very believable for Scott to play, IMO.
Kat Hartman
I like this version as much or even more than the Randolph Scott film.
Also, the Randolph Scott film is here on youtube if you look for it!
@@sasharaj Even though I am a devoted Randolph Scott fan, I also felt Donald Woods was (perfect) for his part.
Howdy
TO LONG I LIKE 30 MINUTES SHOWS
If you don't like them, don't watch them!
