A Double-Dyed Deceiver Shows Up
Catch this one if you can. It's short, satisfying, and as of March 2020 in an attractive restored print. The Texan is "From" the O. Henry story, "A Double-Dyed Deceiver", per the opening credits. The short story is now in the public domain, so it is easy to find and compare to the movie. The story starts out somewhat more brutal than the movie, and you are welcome to find out for yourself how it continues.
28 year old GARY COOPER and 22 year old Fay Wray are listed right under the opening title. The Players include several names familiar to fans of early 1930's movies. Oscar Apfel plays a hard-edged character, and Emma Dunn is her familiar self. Fay Wray is at least easy on the eyes in her scenes, and surely could have been given more to do. Although the movie's pace definitely looks like it's from 1930, there is enough movement to keep it interesting. Victor Milner's photography along with Paramount's lighting of the sets also make this easy on the eyes.
