I agree with the comments of the person from Arkansas. I saw the movie on television during the late fifties and I have never really forgotten it. I was only 14 years old at the time and a Gene Autry fan but seeing both Tom Mix and the film The Rider of Death Valley made an immense impression on me. I can understand how Tom Mix can truly claim the title as the real King of the Cowboys. I will never forget the scenes in Death Valley and during a recent visit to the Lone Pine California area I made a point to visit the outer areas of Death Valley all because of my memories of this great film. Truly a gritty, austere film well worth seeing. I only wish the powers to be at Universal would restore the film and release it again.

I saw this movie back in the 60`s before this movie went into the vaults not to be seen again.Everything in this movie looked real especially the runaway stage coach full of supplies as I remember.Also, the suffering in the desert by all the main characters including the girl without water looked real.As the movie went on I thought they would all die.Of all the westerns and the serials I have seen-this movie probably had the most suffering.Like the serials especially of the 1930`s,this movie had an unusual texture that you won`t forget.
