About the Event:
This western pioneering adventure, filmed among the towering sentinels of Monument Valley, was one of the few sound movies made there by someone other than John Ford. Jon Hall stars as the famous frontiersman who guides a wagon train, escorted by a small military detachment, through Indian territory. Director George B. Seitz was the first to film a Hollywood movie (Zane Grey’s The Vanishing American) in this famous location in 1925. Not on DVD.
Edward Small Productions/United Artists. 1940. 97 mins.

Director: George B. Seitz.
