Rating:  - Good serial, sad memories
It is hard to watch this movie today without the haunting image of the real life Donald Barry. There were good reasons for this serial's success and Barry was set to become a Republic Saturday regular with no reason for fans to compare him with Bill Elliot. William Lava, one of Republic's resident geniuses, penned one of the very best western musical themes ever heard and a generation would have associated it with Don Barry, short or tall. How sad. What a pity to see people so ruled and destroyed ... Read More
Rating: - Little Don Plays Big Red
This is yet another adaptation of a popular comic strip. Yours truly regularly read Red Ryder comic books as a teen, and this is worthy translation. Don Barry is very good in the title role, although he really doesn't fit the comic book look of Red Ryder--Red is a tall gangly guy, and Barry is very short. It's comical (pun intended) to see him do a little hop when he mounts his horse in order to be able to jump up that high! Directors Witney and English couldn't stand working with Barry and his ...

Rating: - "Red Ryder B-Western Series ... Wild Bill Elliott as Red Ryder ... VCI Home Video"
There is no doubt in anyone's mind that Gordon Elliott (6/15/1903 - 11/26/1965) from Pattonsburg, Mo, later known at William "Wild Bill" Elliott (the Peaceable Man) was the best Red Ryder on the big screen ~ he got the name of "Wild Bill" after starring in a Columbia serial "The Great Adventurers of Wild Bill Hickok" back in 1938, went on to make a multitude of westerns during the '40s and '50s ~ it was then Republic Studios was looking for a star to be featured in Fred Harman's Red Ryder comic strip ...

Rating: - 1940's Red Ryder and Little Beaver Volume 1, come to DVD!
Many now only relate to "Red Ryder's Genuine Carbine Action Two-Hundred Shot Lightning Loader Range Model Air Rifle" made famous in the 1983 Christmas movie, "A Christmas Story". This story was about a 10 year old boys obsession with getting Red Ryder's air rifle for Christmas.
Well now, we can all see this famous no-nonsense cowboy and his little sidekick Indian boy, Little Beaver in action. This was a perfect pair & their complete honorable taming of the west.

Rating:  - Red Ryder-Memories
These two western "B" movies from the 40's are typical of the westerns of the war years. The second movie, "Cheyene Wildcat" is the best of the Elliott "Ryder" movies. A big plus is Robert Blake (Baretta) playing Little Beaver! Another big plus, is Roy Barcroft as the mean villian. As with all the old movies coming out in DVD, the quality is very good.
If you are over 60 you'll enjoy the memory-if you are under 60 you get to see a time when good triumphed over evil!
