Warner Archive is serving up an odd one, but a good one. The Monogram Cowboy Collection Volume 1 presents nine late-period Monogram Westerns. First up are four Jimmy Wakely pictures, all directed by Lambert Hillyer:
Oklahoma Blues (1948)
Partners Of The Sunset (1948)
Cowboy Cavalier (1948)
Gun Law Justice (1949)
Next are four Johnny Mack Browns:
Outlaw Gold (1950)
Man From Sonora (1951)
Oklahoma Justice (1951)
Texas Lawmen (1951)
And finally, there’s Cavalry Scout (1951), starring Rod Cameron and Jim Davis and directed by Lesley Selander — in CineColor. This was a bigger picture than the usual Monogram product.
Stay tuned. More new release stuff coming on the noon stage!
Here’s hoping that Monogram vol. 2 (whenever they get around to it) includes Wild Stallion (1952), starring Ben Johnson, Edgar Buchanan, a brunette Martha Hyer, Hayden Rourke, Hugh Beaumont and a beautiful white stallion. Another Cinecolor gem, directed by Lewis Collins and produced by a young Walter Mirisch. But meanwhile, I’m sure looking forward to vol. 1!
I love the B-westerns that you have put out. The Tim Holts, & Vol 1 of Monograms are GREAT.
Hope to see more Browns & Whip Wilsons come our way.
