“THE DESPERADOES"
ADVENTURE AND ROMANCE PROGRAMME AT REGENT filmed in technicolour One of the most magnificent dramas of the old West ever to thunder- across the screen, Columbia’s “ The Desperadoes” will show at the Regent Theatre on Saturday and Monday, with its stellar cast headed by Randolph Scott, Glenn Ford, Claire Trevor, Evelyn Keyes and Edgar Buchanan. Told in breathtaking Technicolour, the new film is said by Hollywood to be an epic drama of brawling men and tinselled women, of lawless wickedness and matchless heroism. Rich with all the colour and tumultuousness of the boundless plains, “The Desperadoes” was directed by Charles Vidor from an original story by Max Brand, adapted to the screen by Robert Carson.
Telling of a killer’s fight for law and order, in a town which was not sure it wanted either, “The Desperadoes” has been praised from coast to coast not alone for the stampeding swiftness of its blood-tingling story, but also for its vivid direction and breathless characterisations'. Special acclaim has been accorded its glowing splendour-splashed backgrounds, brought to pulsating life through adept use of the technicolour cameras; DOUBLE FEATURE FINALLY TO-NIGHT i “Call Out The Marines,” and. “Parachute Nurse” will show finally tonight at the Regent Theatre.
