To the Last Man
This is an Epic Adventure Film. The Haydens and the Colbys are Kentucky families. There has been a feud between the families for years. One killing after another. Mark Hayden wants to put an end to it and decides it's time to live civilized. He moves his family west in hopes of a peaceful life. But the Colbys follow and Jed Colby has no intention of being a peaceful man. SPECIAL NOTE - KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR Shirley Temple - THIS IS THE 12th FILM SHE APPEARED IN AND WOULD LATER STAR IN REBECCA OF SUNNYBROOK FARM AND SUSANNAH OF THE MOUNTIES, both along side Randolph Scott. Another magnificent story from Zane Grey. This is an early starring roll for Randolph Scott and this is a great film. Esther Ralston is also magnificent as are the rest of the cast with outstanding performances by Noah Beery Sr. and Jack La Rue. Big adventure with plenty of action and romance. Also a very haunting scene done here with Buster Crabbe.

Billy the Kid
- English (US)
King Vidor's Billy The Kid. This is the very first movie telling some of the life of Billy The Kid alias William H. Bonney, Henry Antrim, Kid Antrim. This is the complete western movie full length. Some of the names are not quite correct, but this is from 1930 and what an incredible production! Much better than I had expected it to be. (This is not a B western, this is top of the line early Hollywood). This classic western film deals with the corrupt forces in New Mexico at the time and the story is not to far off of many things that actually happened. The Young Guns producers must have studied this film. Some of the names that are not quite correct are John W. Tunston instead of John Henry Tunstall and Bob Ballinger instead of Bob Olinger but Billy The Kid fans will most certainly be entertained by this. Directed by King Vidor.
