{"product_id":"0644827456628","title":"The Last Frontier [Serial]","description":"A serial remake of a 1926 Western feature starring William Boyd, \u003ci\u003eThe Last Frontier\u003c\/i\u003e became an early opportunity for young Lon Chaney, Jr. -- still billed Creighton Chaney -- to prove himself worthy of the Chaney name. But young Creighton, handicapped as he was by stilted dialogue and sub-par action sequences -- did not quite live up to the task and would be reduced to supporting roles until his true breakthrough as Lennie in \u003ci\u003eOf Mice and Men\u003c\/i\u003e (1939). In \u003ci\u003eThe Last Frontier\u003c\/i\u003e, Chaney played Tom Kirby, a crusading newspaper editor opposed to \"Tiger\" Morris (Richard Neill, an outlaw whose reign of terror is meant to drive the settlers off their valuable land. Kirby dons the disguise of a masked avenger and together with such noted historical personages as General Custer (William Desmond) and Wild Bill Hickock (Yakima Canutt), the crusading reporter manages to curtail Morris' evil schemes. Dorothy Gulliver, of the silent screen, and Judith Barrie were added to the cast to lend a bit of feminine appeal under Spencer Gordon Bennet and Thomas Storey's direction. \u003ci\u003eThe Last Frontier\u003c\/i\u003e was an independent serial produced by Van Buren for RKO release. The 1948 Sam Katzman serial \u003ci\u003eTex Granger\u003c\/i\u003e was a very unofficial remake.","brand":"NOSTALGIA FAMILY VIDEO, INC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47086082490608,"sku":"0644827456628","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/0644827456628","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
