comments always welcome.
Some videos can be not available now. We are working to recover them all!
As William Bendix would say on the Life of Riley, "What a revolting development this turn to be!" Comment on The Ransom of Red Chief. david.
ReplyDeleteThe story was a little different as I remember. But they did a good job with the movie. Seems that in th story the boy actually tried to scalp Bill. :) Not just dreaming.
ReplyDeleteThey should have tied the boy up and tossed him out the wagon as they rode back by the dads house.
I think that the dad was probably glad to have peace and quiet.
I like O Henry stories they always have a cute twist to them.
