Trailer Synopsis Cast

The Man From Montreal is a lively entry in Universal's Richard Arlen-Andy Devine action series. The stars are cast respectively as fur trapper Clark Manning and constable Bones Blair, who carry on a friendly rivalry in the Canadian Northwest. Our heroes team up in the final reels to put the kibosh on a fur-smuggling racket, permitting Universal to plunge deeply into its stock-footage files. The leading ladies this time out are Anne Gwynne and Kay Sutton, their billing status indicating which one of the two ladies will land Clark Manning in the last scene. Incredibly, the Arlen-Devine series lasted for 14 films, none of them classics but all of them worthwhile Saturday-matinee fare.

Rubber Racketeers

Racketeer Gillin is paroled from prison and immediately goes to work trying to make an illegal buck from America's war effort. With rationing in effect the black market tire business is booming. Gillen's mob sets up car lots around town where they peddle stolen tires and "new" tires milled in the gangster's factories from cheap faulty materials. People begin to die in crashes as the defective tires fail. Bill Barry leads his fellow defense plant workers on a crusade to uncover the source of the black market rubber and bring the guilty to justice. Although clearly intended to warn the public about black market tire smuggling, Rubber Racketeers holds it own as a saga of mobsters versus an irate public.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Director: CHRISTY CABANNE. Screenplay: Owen Francis. Original screen story: Ben Pivar. Photographed in black-and-white by Milton Krasner. Film editor: Maurice Wright. Art directors: Jack Otterson, Harold H. MacArthur. Set decorator: Russell A. Gausman. Music director: Hans J. Salter. Sound recording: Bernard B. Brown. Western Electric Sound System. Producer: Ben Pivar.Copyright 8 November 1939 by Universal Pictures Co., Inc. No New York opening. U.S. release: 8 December 1939. Australian release: 13 June 1940. 7 reels. 5,416 feet. 60 minutes.SYNOPSIS: Accused of stealing pelts, an innocent trapper is pursued by the Mounties.COMMENT: A beautifully photographed (Milton Krasner) "B" set in the Canadian Rockies. The story by producer Ben Pivar, as screenplayed by Owen Francis, offers a passable amount of action (though it is not very vigorously staged), but tends to be a bit over-talkative.Director Christy Cabanne's often attractively composed visuals reveal his silent film origins, and this quality alone is sufficient to lift the film out of the rut. See if you can spot the silent stock footage (the use of which is a common feature of Cabanne's later sound films) which is very cleverly integrated with the new material.
