Johnny Mack Brown Rides Again
I wasn't old enough (born in 1946) to see Johnny Mack Brown at the theatre, but I do remember watching his westerns on TV in the mid-to-late 1950s. As I watch them now on DVD, I realize that the dialogues were at times rather hokey, the story-lines were not that original or creative, the acting was not terribly nuanced . . . But, I still love these old westerns and take them for what they were. My wife doesn't understand why I enjoy them so much, and I'm not sure why I do either; but if you love old westerns, then this Monogram Cowboy Collection won't disappoint you.

Johnny Mack Brown: Tall in the Saddle
Another excellent DVD from the Monogram Cowboy collection with 9 features from the great Johnny Mack. The transfers are practically perfect. THE TEXAS KID and PARTNERS of the TRAIL are two of the better films as the series nears the end in 1952. Marshal Reed is good in a support role in THE TEXAS KID. One note of interest: The last film in the series, CANYON AMBUSH, has an original screenplay by Joseph Poland, but the plot and much footage are from MONTANA DESPERADO from a year earlier written by Dan Ullman. Brown was a football hero, helping Alabama win the ROSE Bowl in the late twenties, and getting into the movies. If you ever pass thru Dothan,Alabama, be sure to look at some wonderful murals of Brown's career on a downtown street near his boyhood home.
