(Interestingly, that other episode, "Hideout," was adapted from the script of a 1950 movie called <i>Sierra</i> starring Audie Murphy, which was a remake of <i>Forbidden Valley</i> (1938) starring Noah Beery Jr., which was based on a book called <i>The Mountains Are My Kingdom</i> by Stuart Hardy. It would be fun to get hold of the book and those other two adaptations and compare them all.)<br /><br />Now I wonder what movie the cattle stampede footage that appears every so often is from...Elisabeth Grace Foleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02073159989691222645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092350404895325373.post-77018765629634323632015-04-13T12:56:45.418-04:002015-04-13T12:56:45.418-04:00Bingo.

That's what made me notice it and think it might be stock footage.Elisabeth Grace Foleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02073159989691222645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092350404895325373.post-71382722379378914402015-04-13T07:27:14.451-04:002015-04-13T07:27:14.451-04:00Elisabeth, you may have something there.

I know of at least a couple sites that offer DVDs - now, what status this is, gray-market or public domain or what, I don't now, but if you google "Red Canyon 1949 DVD" you'll hit on something. Keep checking Encore Westerns as well.Jacqueline T.

It also features a gorgeous black stallion with a white star on its forehead, and there are some wonderful scenes of wild horse herds on the run—a lot of it stock footage cut in, some of which I've seen in other episodes of the same show. When I was watching it last night, there was a brief shot of the stallion escaping into a red sandstone canyon, and something clicked in my head. <i>The Virginian</i> was a Universal show, and I know they re-used footage (and even reworked scripts) from earlier Universal films sometimes. Could a bit of footage from <i>Red Canyon</i> have found its way into "The Black Stallion"? I guess I'll have to wait until I can track down a copy of the movie to be sure.Elisabeth Grace Foleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02073159989691222645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092350404895325373.post-10959029847394753172014-11-27T14:53:50.691-05:002014-11-27T14:53:50.691-05:00CW, I agree, John McIntire could do it all.
