Two Free Westerns! Wild Bill Elliott as Daniel Boone & as Red Ryder! Movie Double Feature! WOW!

Two action packed western movies starring Wild Bill Elliott are WORD’S WAYBACK presentation. WOW! Before he was Red Ryder, William Elliott was Gordon Elliott in dozens of movies, going back to the silent era. After toiling for 13 years in mostly uncredited, non-speaking parts, Elliott hit paydirt in 1941 with the Columbia serial, THE GREAT ADVENTURES OF WILD BILL HICKOK. Possessed of a fabulous voice and pleasing personality, Elliott’s career took off as a western star and he was soon hired by Republic Studios and became known as “Wild” Bill Elliott.

In RETURN OF DANIEL BOONE, Elliott plays…Wild Bill…BOONE, the grandson of ole Daniel. At this stage in his career, Elliott’s regular sidekick was Dub Taylor, a musical saddle pal and the father of artist/actor Buck Taylor, Newly on GUNSMOKE

Boone goes undercover and joins an outlaw gang to gather evidence against a crooked Mayor forcing ranchers to sell their land to him…cheap. Dub’s got his own problems. He’s being chased by a beautiful chanteuse and doesn’t realize that it’s not one beauty, but a pair a twins. It’s action and laughs in a nice print of RETURN OF DANIEL BOONE from 1941.

A more traditional Elliott stars in our 2nd feature, SHERIFF OF REDWOOD VALLEY (1946). Wild Bill plays that popular comic strip hero, Red Ryder, with Bobby Blake riding alongside as Little Beaver. This slick series western boasts the expected top Republic production values and plenty of action. It also features B western icon, Bob Steele as the Reno Kid, wrongly sentenced to prison, on the run from breaking out and being blamed for more crimes. His wife is played by Peggy Stewart. Other veterans in the cast include Tom London as the sheriff and Keene Duncan as a henchman. It’s a top notch western with some charming bits of business from Bobby Blake.

Turn both your guns around, just like Wild Bill, butts front, and get ready for action in this double dose of Wild Bill Elliott.
