Product Description

"Western Flickers" is R. J. Thomas' mock-documentary about a Texas lawman named T. J. Spikes, who, in 1913, came up with an ambitious plan to get into the history books. Anxious for notoriety after a lackluster career as a bounty hunter, Spikes asked the Western Flickers Motion Picture Company of Hollywood to come to Texas and film his pursuit (and, hopefully, capture) of the Cactus Kid, a notorious outlaw who had been robbing banks and trains for 30 years without being caught.

"Western Flickers" is told in a documentary fashion a' la a 70's "In Search Of"-style show called "America's Legends and Mysteries." The narration is straight, and the footage and illustrations are presented as though we are watching an intriguing, recently-discovered nugget of western history and silent-era Hollywood folklore. The motion picture that Spikes and the Western Flickers company made, dubbed "Hero of the Range," is seen in bits and pieces throughout the fake documentary. We are told that "Hero of the Range" was a hit in 1913, but through the years faded from memory, and by the end of the silent era no complete print of it could be found. But, alas, in 1997, a singing instructor found a trunk in her basement containing reels and reels of silent western films. And one of them just happened to be "Hero of the Range."

And then we are plunged into Spikes' adventure as he chases the Cactus Kid across Texas and the Western Flickers studio (headed by a no-nonsense chief by the name of Thomas West, no less) tries to capture it all on film. Spikes (played in the "fake" 1913 footage by Mr. Thomas, himself) launched his quest from his hometown of Rattlesnake Junction, Texas. The town was so in love with their local hero that the mayor declared a town holiday, complete with a parade, a carnival, and plenty of fanfare. After that, for the next 67 days, Spikes found himself tangled up in the biggest wild goose chase in the history of the American West.
