16mm Western "DEPUTY MARSHALL" Jon Hall, Frances Langford,Dick Foran,Russ Hayden

Description: DEPUTY MARSHALLstarring Jon Hall and Frances Langfordwith Dick Foran, Julie Bishop, Joe Sawyer, Russell Hayden, Clem Bevans Vince BarnettSynopsis by Hal Erickson (excerpted from all movi.com) Based on a novel by Charles Huckelmann, Deputy Marshal was a "special" by the standards of cost-conscious Screen Guild productions. The film stars Jon Hall and Frances Langford, who were Mr. and Mrs. at the time. Hall plays the title character, aka Ed Garry, while Langford essays the role of Janet Masters, a Wyoming ranch owner threatened by land thieves. While Garry does the dirty work so far as keeping the villains at bay, Janet gets to sing a couple of pleasant songs. Deputy Marshal was promoted on its novelty value; the film was photographed by Carl Berger with the Garutso Balanced Lens, a deep-focus apparatus that simulated a 3-D effect.Review by Hans J. Wollstein (excerpted from all movie.com) "Deputy Marshal", from Lippert Productions, is an enjoyable if somewhat talky B-Western. Enjoyable mainly due to the presence of the delightful Frances Langford, who sings Irving Bibo and John Stephens' "Levi's, Plaid Shirt and Spurs" and "Hideout in Hidden Valley." A regular of low-budget musicals during World War II, the blonde Langford was the wife of the film's star, former swashbuckler Jon Hall, who is quite good as the vengeful title character. Relative old-timers Dick Foran and Russell Hayden are both cast against type here and it looks as if they enjoyed the experience immensely.7/10 Joint Project for Mr.&Mrs. Hall. - Review by “bkoganbing26” courtesy I.m.d.b. Lippert Pictures produced in Deputy Marshal a fine B western that has a nice touch of mystery about it. The film was a joint project for Jon Hall and Frances Langford who were married at the time. Langford got a couple of western type songs to sing and I'm sure that was something she insisted on before doing the film. Jon Hall is in the title role though he's incognito for the first quarter of the film. He's on the trail of a pair of fugitives who have long eluded capture when he comes across a shot man in the person of Wheaton Chambers. Hall takes Chambers to the town they're both headed for and another shot in ambush finishes the job on Chambers, but not before Chambers gives Hall a written message for his niece Frances Langford. At that point Hall gets himself into the middle of a range war between two female ranch owners, Langford and Julie Bishop. And he's got a host of other suspects in a town that's right unfriendly to him that include Dick Foran, Joe Sawyer, and Russell Hayden. His only friend in the town seems to be Clem Bevans playing one of his patented old codger roles. Deputy Marshal has a nice blend of mystery and action in it and should readily please western fans. It certainly pleased this one. Deputy Marshal is one of Lippert Pictures better westerns.ABOUT THE PRINT - 16mm / b&w / sound / 75 minutes /
