  • Ride Him, Cowboy is a 1932 remake of The Unknown Cavalier
    It was directed by Fred Allen and starred 25-year-old John Wayne.
    The film was titled The Hawk in the UK.


    This is the 2nd. of 6 films Duke made with WB, as re-makes of some
    silent films, that Ken Maynard had made,
    This one is a 1932 remake of 1926 Western film The Unknown Cavalier,
    with lots of stock footage from the original


    These Duke versions were made, to use up unused film, that WB had,
    featuring Ken Maynard and his miracle horse.
    They brought in Duke and Duke! The Wonder Horse,
    and substituted them into the films!!
    If you look closely, you can spot the difference,
    between the two actors.
    Even the two horses, are noticeably different.


    Duke was billed
    "The screen's new star of the Saddle"
    Critics agreed, that he was a dashing figure of a man


    With Duke, was Ruth Hall, who made three or four films with him,
    and she was probably one of his earlier female co-stars,
    of which he has some chemistry.
    Frank Hagney, was good nasty Hawk character,
    and he was the nasty sneak that dropped Duke's harmonica,
    implicating him in the murder.


    I enjoyed this series, and they remain favourites,
    as they were amongst the first VHS, I ever bought.

  • Not as good as Haunted gold, mainly because the "framed for the villain"-story is so used. Still, many enjoyable scenes, like the trial, and Duke and Duke are a very handsome couple.

    I don't believe in surrenders.

  • I have seen this one a few times since it frequently gets sent on TCM. I have to say this is the second worst John Wayne movie I have seen. Only Two-Fisted Law is worse. I like to sit down and watch these simple old odd movies, but this one is a little too ridiculous. It doesn't have the intentional humor that Haunted Gold has either.

  • Well, I ordered this one from an internet website. It said it would take one to two weeks, and I finally just got it more than six weeks later! Was it worth the wait? Um... Of course it was, but only a die hard fan can probably appreciate these older movies. Of the six Ken Maynard remakes, I think this one is the weakest. I only saw a couple of scenes that had the original footage in them, so it almost seemed pointless to have this as a remake when it could have just been a regular brand new movie. And the plot itself was pretty straight forward, since you know from the beginning who the hawk is. But I am not complaining. This movie is 75 years old and still looks pretty good.

  • Here are two posters, the second one from a 1939 re-release.



    Hello Jim

    Are these your posters and are you a JW poster collector? I love the artwork on them although I myself only have a few. Some of the foreign ones are really good too.

    A very specialised and expensive area of collecting I am told.

  • Elly,


    No, the posters are not mine, although I own one or two (probably not originals, and definitely not any of the much older ones).


    I have a CD with images of posters, that I received from another JWMB member, Les Adams. I met him at the Dean Smith Celebrity Rodeo in Abilene, Texas a couple of years ago. He is a foremost authority on John Wayne and his films, and you will see some of his work extensively throughout IMDb, where he has made numerous corrections to erroneous information.


    Anyway, Les probably owns many of the posters pictured (if not all), and it is with his permission that I have been sharing these images on the message board, to add yet another dimension to an already rich tapestry of information about John Wayne and his movies.

  • watched this on TV the other day and thought it was an ok movie considering it's over 75 years old!!
