Average Rating: 
Rating:  - l937 looking good
First is the great setting, not the Iverson Ranch in California, but the breathtaking, now famous corridor between Moab, Arches National Park, and the beautiful Ls Sal Mountains in Utah. I would have titled it "The Singing Arrows", but "The Rider" a beautiful and mysterious girl,comes across in great photo angles as something mythical. I missed this one as a kid, having vague memories of The Phantom Rider and the Secret of Treasure Island. The music, while vintage Republic, is what you recognized ... Read More
Rating:  - William Witney's First
This was William Witney's first turn as a director. He replaced Ray Taylor, who had a drinking problem and apparently caused a huge problem the first day on location. Witney, then an editor, was rushed in to replace him, and the rest is history. At age 21 Witney became the youngest director ever in Hollywood. During his career he directed hundreds of movies and television Westerns. Witney's serials always had lots of action, and were especially known for their fistfights. He himself described ...

Rating: - Ten stars out of five - great ridin', shootin', and mystery.
This one has some of the best riding sequences I have seen, especially by Crash. I paused a lot during his riding and a lot of the stills look like Frederick Remington paintings. And check out Crash's thigh-high boots! Great stuff Crash, wherever you are. Lots of shootin' too. The characters include Jim Bowie, Davy Crockett and a young Kit Carson who gets his training as a scout during the first wagon train heading west for Santa Fe (pronounced "Santa Fee" - nice touch) under the guidance of Hoot Gibson. ...

Rating:  - Early Republic Western Serial
There is no other product available for this early Republic serial. Thus, one has to live with this one. But this transfer to DVD is NOT that bad. The picture quality is not pristine. But the copy which Madacy worked on to put to DVD is not deteriorated, as is the case on other "economical" serials hastily put on the market for a fast profit. It is the sound which is bad. It cracks and and appears muffled. The actors spoke as if they were eating their words. Sometimes it's difficult trying to understand ... Read More
Rating: - A great introduction to the great serials of the past..
My father was a western film collector and I grew up watching this serial on film. The cliffhangers were always amazing to a 9 year old and I had a big crush on Ray "Crash " Corrigan. When I had the opportunity to get this on tape it reminded me of those nights watching the movie with my dad and wanting to be a cowboy when I grew up. There are great action sequences consisting of betrayals, Indian attacks and more as this wagon train makes its way west. The title refers to the mysterious rider of the Painted ... Read More
