1.Covered Wagon (Silent) starring: Frank Albertson, Johnny Fox, Alan Hale, J. Warren Kerrigan, Tully Marshall

VHS : Covered Wagon (Silent)
The two star rating for the VHS tape of THE COVERED WAGON is not due to the movie itself, which is a solid 4 stars, but because of a major fault of manufacture. The buyer is advised to look elsewhere for this title rather than purchase a tape with the pink and olive green logo on the slipcover.

Caveat emptor: RECORDED IN SLP MODE-- tape tracks poorly. All else is OK. This particular dub has a Hi Fi soundtrack of a very appropriate organ accompaniment which includes varying renditions of the "theme song" of the California Gold Rush of 1848-49, "Oh Susanna" (one of these "takes" sounds like a banjo).

"The Covered Wagon" as a film has only a few flaws, not enough to distract from a well-done story:
At times, there's too many intertitles, especially in the first ... Read More

2.Mark of Zorro starring: Douglas Fairbanks, Marguerite De La Motte, Noah Beery, Charles Hill Mailes, Claire McDowell

VHS : Mark of Zorro
Though lacking the high production values of its 1940 counterpart, the original "Mark of Zorro" is great fun. This adaptation of Johnston McCulley's "Curse of Capistrano" propelled Douglas Fairbanks from light comedian to adventure star. Inventive action sequences and a vigorous pace make this Doug's most enjoyable feature-length vehicle. For comic-book artist Bob Kane, the film was a major influence in the creation of Batman.

3.Toll Gate starring: William S. Hart, Anna Q. Nilsson, Joseph Singleton, Jack Richardson, Richard Headrick
directed by: Lambert Hillyer

VHS : Toll Gate
THE TOLL GATE - Engaging 1920 silent western starring William S Hart as hole-in-the-wall gang leader Black Deering, a good/bad-guy who wants to give up the outlaw life but who, against his better judgment, allows the gang to talk him into one last heist. That decision leads to capture, escape, and multiply chases as the hunted Deering is, in turn, chasing his treacherous former first lieutenant. Things change radically when Black Deering meets an abandoned prairie wife and her young son.

If you're like me and think Hart's movies are, like Gene Autry and Roy Rogers westerns, geared toward the adolescent set, rethink it. THE TOLL GATE is dated - it's melodramatic, moralistic (By his fruit shall ye know, reads one title card) and a touch racist (Let me die like a white man, reads ... Read More

4.Vanishing American starring: Richard Dix, Noah Beery

VHS : Vanishing American
Adapted from Zane Grey's novel, THE VANISHING AMERICAN was filmed on location in Monument Valley and the Betatakin Cliff Dwellings of Arizona. It's in part a history of western Native-Americans and the progression of conquests right up to the white man's defeat of the Navajo and the tribe's relocation to a reservation.

Just after the turn of the 20th Century, a corrupt Indian agent steals and sells to the highest bidder the tribe's best horses. With America's involvement in the Great War in Europe, a captain comes in search of the horses the agent was supposed to have paid for and delivered to the Army.

A kindly schoolteacher convinces a tribal leader (Richard Dix as Nophaie) that if his people help the war effort they will get justice when the fighting ends. Believing her, ... Read More
