"Saturday Matinee ... Arizona Bound & Rocky Mountain Rangers ... Double Feature" April 3, 2008

Monogram and Republic Pictures presents "SATURDAY MATINEE DOUBLE FEATURE: Arizona Bound & Rocky Mountain Rangers" (109 mins/B&W) (Fully Restored/Dolby Digitally Remastered) -- The series was based on a series of western novels by William Colt MacDonald, which began with "Law of the .45's" in 1933 --- The Three Mesquiteers is the umbrella title for a series of 51 western B-movies released between 1936 and 1943, including 8 films starring John Wayne --- The name was a play on The Three Musketeers, and each film featured a trio of stars --- The series blended the traditional Western period with more modern elements, which was not unknown with other B-Western films and serials --- Towards the end of the series, during World War II, the trio of cowboys were opposing Nazis --- The Three Mesquiteers series was extremely popular at the time of its release --- The series was the only one of its kind to be specifically named and ranked in contemporary polls of the top western film stars --- For example, from 1937 to the end of the series in 1943, The Motion Picture Herald consistently ranked the series in its top ten, reaching a peak of 5th place in 1938, when a pre-Stagecoach John Wayne was the series lead --- although The Rough Riders had a short run, they turned out some of the best B-Westerns ever to grace the Saturday Matinee screen...our story is the first of eight in the Rough Riders series featuring Buck Jones as a retired marshal, Tim McCoy as a Parson the itinerant preacher and Raymond Hatton cattle buyer who are U.S. Marshals undercover
