By Mark Savary on February 25, 2004
Format: DVD
Johnny Mack Brown plays Billy Donovan, an ammunition salesman and trick shooter (and he-man hero) who stumbles on the mystery of the "Desert Phantom". The Phantom is intent on driving Jean Halloran and her stepfather off their ranch, and has killed all of the ranch hands, cattle, and relatives who offer Jean support. Among the suspects is the evil Salizar and his gang, and as it turns out, Donovan has an old score to settle with him.
There are many low-budget westerns that were made in the 1930's, and most look pretty dry today. But "Desert Phantom" (1936) has a few things going for it that keep the movie from lacking all interest.
First, the mystery surrounding the "Phantom" is handled pretty well, and although you know he will be revealed as a cast member, his identity remains almost a mystery right up to the end. Only the most passing of cliche hints is offered to the audience early on.
Ted Adams's Salizar is suitably menacing, although the character degenerates into a bit of silliness when he decides to marry Jean (given the nature of Donovan's grudge, this element does not seem all that plausible). Also on hand is Nelson McDowell in a fine comedic turn as "Doc" Simpson, the town horse doctor.
The print used by Alpha Video is clearly from an inferior video source, with some serious kerning and other video errors. But for the price, and to have one of these old films to screen, one can probably not argue too much.
A remake of 1932's "Night Rider".

Love these old movies. I love westerns grew up on watching westerns and its nice to see them when I can. The westerns of today are all write but the old ones are better. Especially when they have a saddle partner. Thanks Amazon for these old movies keep them coming.

VCI Entertainment and Supreme Pictures present "Desert Phantom" (1936) (digitally remastered), long running Johnny Mack Brown series turned out in the early '40s...the story line has Johnny Mack Brown giving us a better than average western plot at what he does best - fighting, riding and roping the heavies leaving us with pure enjoyment...our hero is a sharpshooter and ammunitions expert, Johnny Mack is hired by Sheila Bromley to stop the masked "Desert Phantom" and restore peace and harmony in their fair community...during the course of this western mystery, many suspects surface Ted Adams, Karl Hackett and even Hal Price, who are all on the Supreme Pictures payroll...is there a gold mine hidden somewhere on Bromley's ranch, can this be what all the evil doings is about...Ted Adams as Salazar the mexican bandit steals some of the thunder from the rest of the cast...but watch Charlie King, as always he has a few tricks up his sleeve...will the final showdown live up to all we expect from the Johnny Mack Brown Supreme feature film series...producer A.W. Hackel delivers another over the top film and gives the B-Western fans all the excitement and drama we long for.

Under director Roy S. Luby, producer Barney A. W. Hackel, screenplay by Edward Beverly Mann (short story/author) and adaptation by Earle Snell...the cast include Johnny Mack Brown (Billy Donovan), Sheila Bromley (Jean Halloran), Ted Adams (Salizar), Charles King (Dan/henchman), Karl Hackett (Tom Jackson), Hal Price (Jim Day), Nelson Mcdowell (Josiah 'Doc' Simpson)..........special footnote, actor Charles King was among the top five "Best of the Badmen" (according to a new book by Boyd Magers, Bob Nareau and Bobby Copeland)...
