The Stagecoach Race (1936)
A re-edited, digitally colourised and re-scored version of vintage black and white Western 'Winds of the Wasteland', complete with contemporary, pulse pounding music. The re-edit brings 'Winds of the Wasteland' down to a 22 minute short version. The arrival of the telegraph put Pony Express riders like John Blair and his pal Smoky out of work. A race will decide whether they or stageline owner Drake get the government mail contract.
Director: Mack V. Wright
