DEADWOOD PASS (1933, Freuler) Tom Tyler, Alice Dahl, Wally Wales, Lafe McKee, Buffalo Bill, Jr. This is without a doubt the best of Tyler’s three films for Freuler. A mysterious bandit known only as “The Hawk” is terrorizing the region. In a daring move, Tom poses as the outlaw to try and find the hiding place of his stolen loot. Lots of good action and intrigue. 16mm.
TERROR OF THE PLAINS (1934, Reliable) Tom Tyler, Roberta Gail, Bill Gold. A ghost town is one of the settings in this likable B western. Tom rides into Cheyenne, where his father has been framed and jailed for a murder he didn’t commit. Dad knows who the killer is and sends Tom off to find him. This is the most obscure and most sought after of Tyler’s Reliables. 16mm.
SILENT VALLEY (1935, Reliable) Tom Tyler, Wally Wales, Al Bridge, Nancy Deshon, Charlie King. Wally’s the wayward brother of Sheriff Tom’s gal pal. Because of gambling losses, Wally joins a gang of rustlers, led by King, and finds himself up against the law. What’s Tom to do? From 16mm.
MYSTERY RANGE (1937, Victory) Tom Tyler, Jerry Bergh, Milburn Morante, Roger Williams. As cheap as they were, Tom's westerns for Victory are a likable lot. This one has a dark, creepy atmosphere. Tom plays a Cattleman's Agent. He and his partner find that their old nemesis is back in town, plotting to pull a land swindle on a young girl. It seems the railroad company is offering $50,000 for her land! 16mm.
