Although he made his stake in the beak during his career, Johnon Wayne starred in some of his worst movies early on. Much of it was simply the way the films were made in the late 1920s and early 30s. Every Duke's fan knows about his so -called. Era "Poverty Order", where it led Western films made for cheap and fueled at a stunning rate. But when the sound in the film began to appear in the late 1920s, Wayne also found a few unique and iousubopitic films that were all based on images that came out less than a decade before.

For example, Wayne was thrown into an early western remake for an unusual reason That he resembled the Starwar of the original film. Indeed, Ken Maynard had multiple features for the first national paintings during the 1980s, including the 1926 "unknown Cavalier". However, after Warner Bros. bought the studio completely, producers Leon Schlesinger and Sid Rogel decided to rework several Mayard films as "conversations" (which essentially means added sound). But these were not complete remake. "Drive it, Cowboy" since 1932 was read "The Unknown Cavalier" in which Wayne played the lead role, filling for Mayard in the scenes where you can clearly see his face. But Warners actually used footage of the original movie for action scenes.

This was not the first time the Duke has been used as a stand-in. Perners had earlier recorded the young remake actor from the "Phantom City" in 1928, which the studio withdrew "haunted gold". In addition to being one of these iousubopitic quizs of Talkie, the film is noticeable for being the closest Wayne to make a horror movie.

Between 1932 and 1933, Warner Bros. produced six Ken Maynard Western remake with Johnon Wayne in the lead role. "Gold Gold" in 1932 was the first (although it was published in third place). The film is western, mystery and, according to some (including The database of the film), horror film. "Spooks! Ghosts! And Treasure in Gold" Everyone is promised in the trailer for this remake of the quiet western "phantom city" led by Maynard, the "phantom city". Does that Really Quality as a horror movie is questionable, but it was certainly the closest duke ever came into the genre.

In the film, directed by Mac Wright, Wayne plays Johnon Mason, who receives a mysterious letter calling on him to return to the mine to look for his part of gold in it. Mason travels to the mine of his reliable steel, Duke, who actually received a second recovery of the film and appeared alongside Wayne in numerous other pictures. Once there, he meets Janenet Carter of Sheila Terry, the daughter of Rudar, who was sent a letter and is there to seek his part of wealth. Soon, Outlawo Ryan (Harry Woods) and his gang are arriving with plans to take gold for themselves, but the only thing that is more threatened by them is the frightening spirit that appears in MINeshaft.

Various reports claim that Wayne was paid between $ 825 and $ 850 for his contributions to "haunted gold", many of which were shot at the site in Sonora, California, near the Yosemite National Park. But while Warner Bros. was the real winner here, starring in the cheap Western remake was not a waste of time for Wayne, as they actually went well with audiences and critics.

Woulde spend seven more years after the "haunted gold" before Johnon Ford give Johnon Wayne his big break from Casting in the 1939 Seminar in Western Stagecoh, much of the surprise of the young actor. But those years spent on poverty were worth - not only because they learned the duke everything he needed to know about moving, but also because, always and then, they were quite well received, demonstrating the public and critics that Wayne had a leading man.

According to Fred Landesman's book "Johnon Wayne's Filmography", "" The retrospective estimates of the film described it as one of Wayne's better films of that era. For example, in their book "Great Western Pictures", Jameses Robert Parish and Michael R. The Pitts wrote that the film "has greatly helped establish (Wayne) as a young and attractive hero of Sagebrush," noticing that "these Western have proved to be quite acceptable to the public." In Hollywood Coral, author Don Miller described the film in a similar way as "the most fun in the Warner set", pointing out "the angle of mystery, which rarely manages to garnish every western". However, the modern review of the variety in January 1933 was not so positive. "Made in a difficult style of mystery story three or four years ago," the review said. "Johnon Wayne plays modern, with Sheila Terry giving little help. The photo is moving from good to poor."

Although the "haunted gold" was seen something favorable in a retrospective, unfortunately it is full of racial celebrations aimed at the side of Johnon Mason, Clarence Brown, a character played by Blue Washington (which also appeared in "Phantom City"). However, if you can see the past for the sake of inspecting this era of moving, "haunted gold" is Johnon Wayne's underestimated film that is worth watching.
