Deadwood Dick

Here's the dramatization of a bloodthirsty dime novel just like those Grandfather used to read in secret. The lure of the Old West of heroes, of redskins biting the dust, of lily pure maidens and black hearted gamblers, of the never ending "Game of Gold" is still with us. In 1876 Edward L. Wheeler started turning out novels about a Robin Hood of the Black Hills whom he named Deadwood Dick. Overnight Dick became so popular that the series continued for fifteen years. Taking the most exciting situations, the more colorful characters and the most amusing dialogue from these novels, Taggart has fashioned a blood and thunder melodrama. Long lost daughters, stolen gold mines, kidnapped heroines and hairbreadth escapes abound! DEADWOOD DICK Director: Ian Butcher ‘Deadwood Dick’ is a rootin’ tootin’ wild west melodrama with all the usual elements: demure heroines kidnapped by black-hearted villains, rescued by handsome heroes, stolen gold-mines and secret maps. Here is your chance to let your hair down and sing some rip-roarin’ western songs. Besides the 14 major parts there are saloon girls, miners, toughs and temperance crusaders. There are big parts, small parts, singing, dancing and who knows, maybe even a town drunk. A certainty is that it will be lots of FUN.
