Wild Bill Elliott Movie Collection
Bill Elliott with George
'Gabby" Hayes in Calling Wild Bill Elliott
Wild Bill Elliott Movie Collection Wild Bill Elliott (born Gordon Nance, October 16, 1904 – November 26, 1965) was an American film actor. He specialized in playing the rugged heroes of B Westerns, particularly the Red Ryder series of films. Elliott began to be noticed in some minor B Westerns, enough so that Columbia Pictures offered him the title role in a serial, The Great Adventures of Wild Bill Hickok (1938). The serial was so successful, and Elliott so personable, that Columbia promoted him to starring in his own series of Western features, replacing Columbia's number-two cowboy star, Robert "Tex" Allen. Henceforth, Gordon Elliott was known as Bill Elliott. Within two years, he was among the Motion Picture Herald's top-10 Western stars, where he would remain for the next 15 years. In 1943, Elliott signed with Republic Pictures, which cast him in a series of Westerns alongside George "Gabby" Hayes. The first of these, Calling Wild Bill Elliott, gave Elliott the name by which he would be best known and by which he would be billed almost exclusively for the rest of his career. 36 Movies and 3 Complete 15 Chapter Serials in this collection His 16 Red Ryder films are noted below as RR DVD 1 Calling Wild Bill Elliott (1943) The Man from Thunder River (1943) Bordertown Gun Fighters (1943) Wagon Tracks West (1943) Death Valley Manhunt (1943) DVD 2 Overland Mail Robbery (1943) Mojave Firebrand (1944) Hidden Valley Outlaws (1944) Tucson Raiders (1944) RR Marshal of Reno (1944) RR DVD 3 The San Antonio Kid (1944) RR Cheyenne Wildcat (1944) RR Vigilantes of Dodge City (1944) RR Sheriff of Las Vegas (1944) RR Great Stagecoach Robbery (1945) RR DVD 4 Lone Texas Ranger (1945) RR Bells of Rosarita (1945) Phantom of the Plains (1945) RR Marshal of Laredo (1945) RR Colorado Pioneers (1945) RR DVD 5 Wagon Wheels Westward (1945) RR California Gold Rush (1946) RR Sheriff of Redwood Valley (1946) RR Sun Valley Cyclone (1946) RR DVD 6 Conquest of Cheyenne (1946) RR Rebel City (1953) The Longhorn (1951) Waco (1962) DVD 7 Kansas Territory (1952) Fargo (1952) The Maverick (1952) The Homesteaders (1953) DVD 8 Topeka (1953) Vigilante Terror (1953) Bitter Creek (1954) The Forty-Niners (1954) DVD 9 The Great Adventures of Wild Bill Hickock (1938) Complete 15 Chapter Serial DVD 10 Overland with Kit Carson (1939) Complete 15 Chapter Serial DVD 11 The Valley of Vanishing Men (1942) Complete 15 Chapter Serial |
