Watch The Phantom of the Range For Free

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Tom Tyler stars in The Phantom Of The Range, a western from poverty row outfit Victory Pictures. In this film Tyler buys the ranch of an old miser whose granddaughter Beth Marion he's taken a liking to. With cash on the barrel head he buys the ranch out from under the old miser's neighbor Forest Taylor.Taylor has hired a cowboy to ride around in a Ku Klux Klan like bedsheet to scare off any intruders. Sad too for his sake that Tom Tyler doesn't scare or fool so easily.Sammy Cohen Jewish character actor plays a gentlemen's gentlemen who hires out to Tyler. Soledad Jimenez plays a treacherous housekeeper in Taylor's pay.The film plays more like a cheap mystery than a western and it had possibilities not to be realized in a poverty row outfit.

When old man Hiram Moore dies, two rumors float about: one is that as a miser he buried a lot of money somewhere on his ranch and secondly, that his ghost roams the ranch. A gang of crooks led by Brandon, believe Hiram left a map of the location of the treasure in a painting of Hiram. At the auction selling off Hiram's possessions and ranch, the crooks overbid on the portrait thus making Jerry Lane (Tyler) and Hiram's granddaughter Jeanne Moore (Beth Marion) suspicion. Jeanne soon runs out of money but Jerry has money from the sale of his ranch so buys both the painting and Hiram's ranch! Jerry is quite smitten with Jeanne even though they had only met briefly a few hours prior to the auction. With the ranch comes an English butler, Eddie Parsons, who seems to be a bit light-fingered early in the movie. Sammy Cohen as Eddie provides the comic relief and does a pretty good job of it but as the previous reviewer noted, he forgot his English accent in a couple of scenes. There is also lurking about a spooky housekeeper who was paid by Brandon to spy on Jerry. Things heat up when Jerry is unjustly (of course) accused of murder. This was a pleasant little Western but not as good, to me, as Rip Roarin' Buckeroo, which had the exact same lead players – and same beautiful scenery.

Jerry Lane sells his ranch and decides to buy a new spread in a more peaceful area. As soon as he hits a new town, he buys in an auction a ranch said to be haunted by the ghost of the previous owner. This claim is started by Brandon, who plans to drive off any settlers so he can freely search the house for a map to the treasure the miserly owner hid. When Lane starts to feel intimidated, he, the old owner's daughter Jeanne, and the former butler Eddie, decide to stick it out, trying to locate the treasure and battle Brandon and his henchmen, while at the same time trying to avoid the prying eyes of Perdita, the homely housekeeper sent by Brandon, and a murder charge against Lane. The film coming from Victory obviously had crummy production values at best, but Tom Tyler was a great choice for the role (unlike Tim McCoy in the loose remake, Straight Shooter) and was able to carry the film quite well. Beth Marion was easy on the eyes as Jeanne (total opposite of Soledad Jiminez as Perdita) and nice characterizations from regular B actors Forrest Taylor, Charlie King, and Richard Cramer (in a good guy role as the sheriff). Sammy Cohen is okay as the butler, but his accent keeps on dropping. Good pacing by director Hill, who also doubles as the auctioneer at the film's beginning. Enjoyable oater. Rating, based on B-westerns, 7.
