Watch Just Tony

(1922)Fox - Tom Mix, Tony, Claire Adams, Duke Lee, J. P. Lockney, Frank Campeau, Walt Robbins. We decided to make the move into silent B westerns after seeing this film at the Lone Pine Film Festival last Fall. This is a delightful film that aptly displays the amiable western charm that made Mix the biggest western star of his era. Tom plays a roving cowboy who seeks revenge against the man who shot him in a saloon brawl. During his searches through the region, he comes to know and admire a dazzling wild stallion named Tony, whom he wants to capture and break. He also unknowingly comes to know and fall in love with the daughter of the man who shot him! One great scene involves Tom rescuing Tony from a whipping by a merciless ranch hand. A great title to start a silent B western collection with. Highly recommended. Music score, 16mm.
