Generic “B” Western

By the mid 1980’s we had accumulated negatives from numerous US distributors and it was obvious that the popularity of the B western had been one of their largest catalogue fillers. We would get the lab to run off test prints and those that  didn’t look too bad mad their way into our sales catalogues. ‘My Pal Trigger’, ‘The Yellow Rose of Texas’, ‘The Ranger and the Lady’ and ‘Red River Valley’, ‘Dead Man’s Trail’, ‘Flaming Lead’, ‘Songs and Saddles’, ‘Death Rides the Range’, Texas Masquerade’, Doomed Caravan’ and ‘Heart of the West’ come to mind starring the likes of Roy Rogers, William Boyd and  Johnny Mack Brown. This generic label’s western star and it’s title was left blank and an extra print run inserted as needed.
