randolph scott chases the buffalo.
10 June 2022
Roku has this as buffalo stampede, but imdb has it as thundering herd.

Stars western regular randolph scott and judith allen, in her very first role. In the 1870s, with good prices being paid for buffalo hides, honest cowboys hunted them. And dis-honest thieves tried to hijack them. Co-stars noah beery, buster crabbe. Add a battle with the native american indians. Throw in a love story between the lead characters, and you've got a western. Many of the scenes were cut and pasted from the 1925 silent version, but they are much darker. It's pretty easy to see which are the newer scenes and which are the old. Some great shots of buffalo stampeding, with various snowy mountains in the background. Directed by henry hathaway. Very outspoken and gruff. Some funny quotes in his bio here on imdb. Looks like he worked on seven films with john wayne. Book by the famous and popular zane grey, who had written a zillion and one westerns. According to imdb, this was filmed at the alabama hills and in yellowstone. When you are in lone pine, see if the museum of western film history is open... they might be showing a film that evening, probably written by zane grey. Fun stuff!
