Harry Fraser was a tried and true professional director who could be counted upon to bring a picture in on time and on budget. In fifty years in film and theatre, he worked with many important figures in motion picture history, particularly in westerns: Wild Bill Cody, Tom Tyler, Bob Steele, Gene Autry, Rex Bell, Tom Mix, Harry Carey, Buster Crabbe, Lash La Rue, William S. Hart, John Wayne, Yakima Canutt, and many others.
Interesting for its look at a side of Hollywood filmmaking not widely covered and as a personal narrative of a director who worked with some of the important western stars of their day. * Sightlines *
...a great piece of work....learned a great deal that I didn't know. -- Buck Rainey
...enjoyable reading...a good picture of what it was like for an actor and director from the early to mid point of this century. * Westerns and Serials *
...a gem....a fabulous glimpse of poverty row and the people who worked there....a must! * The Big Reel *
