Obscure Films

Redheaded actor Dick Foran made a number of "B" westerns for Warner Bros. in 1936 & 1937 as "The Singing Cowboy".  The movies themselves are pretty short, an hour or so, and fairly typical and/or predictable as far as the plot goes. In most of the films, he uses the same horse - Smoke, a paint. But, it's interesting to note that many of the films feature a well known actor (or other known individual) also in the picture, though not in a starring role.  I've tried to point these out in each of the films I've reviewed below:

• Song of the Saddle (1936)
• Treachery Rides the Range (1936)
• Trailin' West (1936)
• Guns of the Pecos (1937)
• Empty Holsters (1937)
