The Broncho Billy films were such an important influence to future cinema Westerns it would be a crime not to have easy access to them. How many of the 100's of this series survive? No doubt very few, so each one becomes a treasure. This particular one may not be the best, but it was interesting to see how vulnerable the character could be. Only true Western fans would know that the 3 Godfathers story made it's debut in a Broncho Bill film!
