The light of Western stars 1930 - A Zane Grey story on the screen


IMDB link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0021070/?ref_=fn_al_tt_2
IMDB rating: 7,3



Directors: Otto Brower, Edwin H. Knopf
Main Cast: Richard Arlen, Mary Brian, Harry Green, Regis Toomey



"The Light of Western Stars goes a long way towards using Paramount's fledgling sound system creatively; some scenes are filmed in complete darkness, allowing voices and sound effects to carry the day. Otherwise, this is a pleasantly familiar western concerning the relationship between drunken-cowpuncher Richard Arlen and new ranch-owner Mary Brian. Arlen's best friend was Brian's brother, who was killed under suspicious circumstances. Fred Kohler is the villain, but he's not as easily subdued as Arlen would prefer. Light of Western Stars was co-directed by Otto Brower and Edwin H. Knopf, but there seems to have been no dissension between these two journeymen; it was based on a novel by Zane Grey, which had previously been filmed twice and was good for another go-round in 1940." - http://www.allmovie.com/movie/the-light-of-western-stars-v29322
