Sundown Saunders

When Sundown wins a horse race he is paid with a deed to a ranch. Arriving at the ranch he finds the Prestons already living there. They bought it from the fake land agent Taggart who then frames Sundown for murder.

Directed by Robert N. Bradbury, Sundown Saunders leans on a strong ensemble — Bob Steele, Catherine Cotter, Earl Dwire — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about western titles of 1935.
