"Bob Steele Series ... Desert Patrol (1938) ... Republic"
J. Lovins | Missouri-USA | 04/18/2008
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Republic Pictures presents "DESERT PATROL" (6 June 1938) (56 mins/B&W) (Fully Restored/Dolby Digitally Remastered) -- Bob Steele was an American actor --- He was born Robert Adrian Bradbury in 1907 in Portland, Oregon, into a vaudeville family --- Bob's career began to take off for good in 1927, when he was hired by production company Film Booking Offices of America (FBO) to star in a series of Westerns. Bob--who was rechristened Bob Steele at FBO--soon made a name for himself, and in the late 1920s, 1930s and 1940s starred in B-Westerns for almost every minor film studio, including Monogram, Supreme, Tiffany, Syndicate, Republic (including several films of the Three Mesquiteers series) and Producers Releasing Corporation (PRC) (including the initial films of their "Billy the Kid" series)

In the late 1940s and early 1950s, that "new medium" television had many hours to fill and few dollars to fill them --- They re-discovered the B-Western, still a popular mainstay of Saturday afternoon matinees and many cowboy stars thrilled a new audience --- Taking advantage of this rebirth in popularity, publishers brought to the marketplace comic books featuring these western heroes of "Bob Steele" Westerns --- These bimonthly issues were copyrighted in February and April of 1950 by Fawcet Publications --- His career which included nearly 200 feature films, serials and TV appearances --- Steele in his twilight years at the age 59 when he got the part of the cantankerous "Trooper Duffy", in the western comedy series "F Troop" (1965), who at the drop of a hat would give his rendition of fighting "shoulder to shoulder with Davy Crockett at the Alamo" --- Steele retired from the screen in 1973 --- Bob's long career, spanning more than 50 years came to an end in 1988 when he passed away.

Under the production staff of:
Sam Newfield - Director
A.W. Hackel - Producer
Fred K. Myton - Screenwriter
Robert C. Cline - Cinematographer
Roy Claire - Editor

Our story line and plot, begins with a Ranger being tortured to death by Apache Joe --- He is sent back in pieces to Ranger headquarters --- Ranger Dave Austin (Bob Steele) is sent to break up the outlaw gang involved in smuggling, but most of all to revenge his friend's death --- Unfortunately one of the gang members happens to have a sister that Austin becomes struck on. So he is placed in a dilemma. He is undercover as a hired hand on the ranch of the gang member with the pretty sister. Hezi (Budd Buster), another hired hand, recognizes Austin but promises not to blow his cover --- A few names from B-Western classics Rex Lease, Ted Adams, Forrest Taylor, Budd Buster, Steve Clark and Jack Ingram.
