Painted Desert, The

Western pardners Jeff and Cash find a baby boy in an otherwise deserted emigrants' camp, and clash over which is to be "father." They are still bitterly feuding years later when they own adjacent ranches. Bill, the foundling whom Cash has raised to young manhood, wants to end the feud and extends an olive branch toward Jeff, who now has a lovely daughter. But during a mining venture, the bitterness escalates. Is Bill to be set against his own adoptive father?

@jimidee33 No problem.

[jimidee33]

@classicrockfan555 Thanks for the confirmation.

[classicrockfan555]

@jimidee33 Yes, it was his debut in a talkie, where he was actually credited!

[jimidee33]

It's interesting that the personas of both William Boyd, later to become Hopalong Cassidy, and Gable are here in this film. Boyd, the serene hero and Gable the manly tough guy.

I think this was Gables first credited screen appearance?

Gable steals the movie. In 4 yrs. Boyd would have mch more success in a western when he made the 1st Hopalong Cassidy film.
