Movies starring Frank Ball

Between Men (1935)

60 mins     Western      

Just on a quick side note let me mention director Robert N. Bradbury who in the year 1935 had 16 movies which he directed released, take in to account time off and that is roughly 3 weeks a movie. "Between Men" is of course o...

Brand of the Outlaws (1936)

60 mins     Western      

If I was given a script now about an innocent cowboy who gets branded with a hot iron and set up for murder by a man who has been masquerading as a lawman I could envisage a gritty, dirty western. Unfortunately the script was...

Paroled - To Die (1938)

55 mins     Western

The Feud Maker (1938)

55 mins     Western      

I have to admit I am not the biggest fan of Bob Steele westerns as often Steele would come across as a bit wooden but in "The Feud Maker" Steele seems more relaxed that he often came across. Oh there are times when he stands ...
