Early Talkie is a typical B Western
suferia24 June 2003
I once owned what was probably the only existing print of this primitive sound Western. Very low budget and flimsy acting complete with a rowdy saloon scene and cheesy dancing chorus girls galore!

The plot concerns a counterfeit operation(rather unusual)and is set in the present(1930)with automobiles as well as horses. An over reliance on inter titles to set the scenes dates this fresh from the silent era.

My ancient brittle and shrunken nitrate film clanged nervously through my projector and after just one screening, I donated the highly flammable celluloid to the American Film Institute. Probably beyond restoration, but should you wish to see this flick from long ago, check the with the AFI, maybe they got around to transferring it to videotape. My print lacked the titles and credits and maybe a scene or two. About an hour in length, this is typical of many early low-budget sound movies.
