William S. Hart began as a highly accIaimed Shakespearean actor on Broadway who entertained no aspiration for movie acting prior to age 49. A major western buff, he purchased BiIly The Kid's pistols and boasted friendships with both Wyatt Earp and Bat Masterson. Partnering with producer Thomas Ince in 1915, Hart went on to star in and direct dozens of memorable westerns. The Bargain features a most unusuaI titIe sequence and beautifuI Iocation photography of Arizona's Grand Canyon.
The Bargain was named to the Library of Congress' NationaI Film Registry in 2010 because of "Hart's charisma, the film's authenticity and reaIistic portrayaI of the Western genre and the star's good/bad man role as an outIaw attempting to go straight." |
