Thunder Town



The best of the Kart.
Video Kart came out with 4-double feature/discs featuring the Eddie Dean, Bob Steele, and Lash LaRue B Westerns. All are good but this is the best of the group - not so much as to the selection but more so as to picture quality, especially Driftin'River. The other black and white features had very intense contrast- so that the night and dark scenes were essentially black and white with hardly any shades of grey in between, which makes it difficult to appreciate the finer details. But this is not so with Driftin River which somehow come off well. The Bob Steele feature- Thundertown was also much better than the previous two releases by Video Kart.The features appear to have been cleaned-up versions of the originals but not actually full blown restorations. These are better than some of those B westerns transferred to DVD but were merely copied from the VHS EP versions. Let's hope Video Kart comes out with more of these westerns - especially those Cinecolor team-ups of Eddie Dean and...

singing cowboy film
Eddie Dean had a far better singing voice than most of the Singing Cowboy stars but they gave him rather poor movies to be featured in, for younger audiences than Roy Rogers or Gene Autry. Scripts were really weak and I just don't think Eddie Dean good as Star and Hero, not luike Roy, Gene, Tex or Rex. This film is ok but not much more.

IT WAS A GIFT.
MY FATHER IS REALLY ENJOYING THE MOVIES THAT I GAVE HIM FOR CHRISTMAS. HE SAID THEY ARE GOOD TO HIM.
