Synopsis

The first Randolph Scott film to be released on Blu-ray anywhere. A Panamint Cinema high-definition restoration from original 35 mm film materials, exclusively available direct from Panamint Cinema.

Blu-ray Region Free. Abilene Town (1946, b/w), starring Randolph Scott. A new 2K HD transfer commissioned by Panamint Cinema from 35 mm fine grain master material with LPCM lossless audio.

A story about the violent conflict of interests between the cattlemen and newly arrived homesteaders just after the civil war. Abilene Town, Kansas, was the railhead for the cattle drives from Texas. Based on the novel Trail Town by Ernest Haycox it focuses interest on the evolution of this Kansas village from the familiar reckless cowboy town into a more peaceful community, under the guidance of Randolph Scott as Marshal Dan Mitchell, with little help from Edgar Buchanan's bumbling sheriff. Providing his conflicting love interests are Sherry Balder, played by Rhonda Fleming in her first Western, and saloon owner and singer Ann Dvorak. A young Lloyd Bridges plays a newly arrived farmer with an eye on Sherry.

Enjoyable Randolph Scott Western

Well restored 1940's Western. There are some hints of the poor state the film was in. Like majority of Randolph Scott western's and this was no exception. More comedic elements than most which was quite broad, but I liked it.

I am a huge Randolph Scott fan and finding a watchable copy of Abilene Town has been so frustrating till now, thanks to Panamint Cinema, not only is it beautifully watchable but on Blu-ray! AAA+++ for the quality of both picture and sound. Abilene Town is a fast moving western with the question, which side of town are you loyal to and do you support the struggling farmers or righteous cattle herders! Brilliant acting by Randolph Scott, the beautiful Rhonda Fleming and Edgar Buchanan is his funny self as the sheriff. Thanks Panamint Cinema for giving this great western new life!
