  1. I'd like to see the one about Pershing, and "Arizona."

  2. Wild Women looks to be an early John Ford picture. From the poster I'm guessing that a bunch of cowboys are shipwrecked on a south seas island, culture clash hijinks ensue when the rowdy cowboys encounter the equally rowdy wild women?

  3. Wikipedia says this: As described in a film magazine,[2] Cheyenne Harry (Carey) and his pals, bent on helping their friend Rawhide Jack, attend a rodeo with the intent to win the prize for roping steers and to hand the winnings over to Jack. Harry wins, and after the rodeo the boys go to a cafe where they imbibe too freely in the flowing wine and fall asleep. Harry finds himself robbed and with the others shanghaied and aboard a ship. They mutiny and Harry becomes the captain. A shipboard fire results in them landing on a desert island, where the Queen (Mattox) of the Blackanwhites falls in love with Harry. He dodges her and runs off with her daughter the Princess (Malone). Just as he starts making love to her, he awakens from a dream, the product of Harry's legendarily prodigious drinking, and discovers that he is holding one of the sleeping cowboys.

    They also call it a lost film. Too bad, Cap'n.

  4. Why too bad? That's not one I wanted to see. But if I do, I can now rest assured that it's not available. Thanks for the info.
