Deadwood '76

Rating:
Summary: Arch Hall Jr is lookin' for gold, not trouble.
Review: Here in the Los Angeles County area and Victorville area, there is a new popularity of Arch Hall Jr films thanks to the television stations KDOC 56 (38) in 2003 and currently KHIZ 64 (14) for airing "Macabre Theatre". EEGAH! (1963) is frequently shown (Starring Arch Hall (Sr.), Arch Hall Jr, Carolyn Brandt and Richard Kiel).
Another film with Arch Hall Jr. is Deadwood '76 (1965). Billy May (Arch Hall Jr. is on his way to Deadwood. He meets up with a man Tennessee (Jack lester) who is taking the same journey. Tennessee is in search for gold so he can start his own business, The Tennessee Mining Company. In town, Billy is mistakenly called "Billy the Kid" by an impressionitive boy. To make matters worse, he has got Wild Bill Hickok (Robert Dix) on his tail and some Indians to look out for. Can he make it alive out of this town?
This film is low-budget, but a good western story easy to follow. The print of film that Alpha Video offers is not the finest, originally made for widescreen, but this version is standard with the borders of the picture frame cropped. The picture is slightly squeezed in, but watchable like an Italian western film. Filmed in South Dakota. Devil's Tower can be seen.
If you have become a fan of Arch Hall Jr or Carolyn Brandt, I recommend you see: The Sadist (1963). other films with Arch Hall Jr are: Wild Guitar (1962), EEGAH! (1963), The Nasty Rabbit (1964).
