5.0 out of 5 stars
Good Movie, April 17, 2002
Young Blood Starring Rob Lowe is a great movie.....but this is not it. Its a Western from 1953, please dont buy this if your looking for the Hockey movie. I made the mistake of that already because of a mis-advised early review. Thank You.

"The King of B-Westerns & Serials...VCI Entertainment ~ Young Blood (1932)", March 30, 2006
VCI Entertainment and Monogram Pictures present "Young Blood" (1932) (Dolby
digitally remastered)...relive those thrilling days from the early '30s and '40s
when Bob Steele took us down the dusty trails and the plains to exciting
adventures....some of the best B-Westerns ever to grace the Saturday Matinee
Screen...just remember double thrills, chills, mystery and suspense...hitting the bull's eye
with excitement...don't miss any of the Bob Steele features loaded with action that will leave
you wanting more of his B-Western adventures
Under director Phil Rosen, producer Trem Carr, original story by Wellyn Totman...the cast include Bob Steele (Nick), Helen Foster (Gail Winters), Charles King (Sheriff Jake Sharpe), Naomi Judge (Countess Lola Montaine), Harry Semels (Tony Murullos), Henry Roquemore (Beckworth), Henry Hall (Mayor), Hank Bell (Deputy Bill), Art Mix (Henchman Hank Morris), Perry Murdock (Henchman Ed Sheflin), Roy Bucko (Henchman 'Blackie' Walsh), Silver Tip Baker (Stage Driver),
Horace B. Carpenter (Townsman Joe), Earl Dwire (Clearwater Station Agent), Lafe McKee (Colonel Bondage). . . . . our story opens with 'Battlin' Bob Steele who plays a western Robin Hood by returning jewels to our European royality Naomi Judge which were stolen...will his partner Charles King let the return stand, or can we count on fisticuffs with him and Steele which we so thoroughly enjoy...is there a missing confession that would clear our hero, and what is Naomi's pet monkey doing with the confession during this one hour Monogram gem...our heroine Helen Foster puts romance in the life and times of Bob Steele, which will end this adventure on a happy note and begin a new one. . . . . B-Western 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)...King was a big man, but as agile as a cat during his fight scenes with Johnny Mack Brown, Buster Crabbe, Tex Ritter, The Rough Riders and Bob Steele...King appeared in 400 films and 350 were in sound including many cliffhangers...he was the heavy we loved to hate . . .second B-Western footnote.actor Lafe Mckee appeared in almost 400 films, began working in Hollywood in 1913 in numerous roles mostly in B-Westerns in supporting roles with Gene Autry, Johnny Mack Brown, Gary Cooper, Hoot Gibson, Buck Jones, Ken Maynard, Tim McCoy, Bob Steele, Tom Tyler and John Wayne always as the elderly father of the heroine, a troubled businessman, ranch owner losing his homestead or having his cattle rustled, whatever the case Lafe was always in the thick of things. . . . third B-Western footnote, actor Earl Dwire, one of the best western screen scoundrels of the '30s, was a snaky badmen and a close friend to director Robert N. Bradbury, Dwire appeared in 17 Bob Steele early films and later joined John Wayne and Johnny Mack Brown always giving his signature style performance...check out this and more in a new book "Best of the Badmen" by Boyd Magers, Bob Nareau and Bobby Copeland, available from Amazon and Empire Publishing. . . pick up your copy today.........another great B-Western for Bob Steele under the Monogram Picture banner, proves to be one of his most exciting performances.
Special footnote, actor Bob Steele was the son of director Robert N. Bradbury and the age of 14 he and his twin brother Bill Bradbury made a series of comedy shorts "Adventures of Bob and Bill" (1920), directed by their father...along came his first starring western "The Mojave Kid" (1927), released by Film Booking Office of America (FBO) and directed by his father, he changed his name to Bob Steele...making low budget B-Westerns for independent studios such as Republic, Supreme, Monogram and PRC which included nearly 200 feature films, serials and TV appearances...was in his twilight years at the age 59 when he got the part of the cantankerous "Trooper Duffy", in the western comedy series "F Troop" (1965), who at the drop of a hat would give his rendition of fighting "shoulder to shoulder with Davy Crockett at the Alamo"...Steele retired from the screen in 1973...his long career, spanning more than 50 years came to an end in 1988 when he passed away.
