Rawhide Rangers (1941) - Johnny Mack Brown - Fuzzy Knight - Nell O'Day - 16mm

Description

This is a 16mm print of the Johnny Mack Brown Western, Rawhide Rangers (1941). It is on Eastman film stock. I would describe it as a nice dupe in nice condition. I believe I detect a vinegar odor, but there is no warpage and it projected fine on my Bell & Howell. It is on a 2300' reel and has a running time of approximately 55 minutes.

The story has a gang of outlaws terrorizing the countryside stealing and killing and driving out the local ranchers. A company of under strength Texas Rangers is out to stop them. Among the Rangers is Brand Calhoun (Johnny Mack Brown) who is assigned to the case. While trying to prevent a stage holdup, Calhoun's brother Steve (Roy Harris) is killed. Calhoun resigns from the Rangers and embarks on a life of crime in competition with the outlaws led by "respectable" citizen Martin (Ed Cassidy) and his henchmen Blackie (Harry Cording) and Dirk (Bob Kortman).
Calhoun is forced to join the outlaws and aid them in their robberies.
But has Calhoun really turned to crime? What do you think?
