Eureka's Masters of Cinema presents TWO FILMS BY JOHN FORD (STRAIGHT SHOOTING/HELL BENT)

The great western auteur John Ford made his feature debut with STRAIGHT SHOOTING, also the first feature-length film of Harry Carey's silent two-reeler western hero Cheyenne Harry who saves homesteaders from cattle rustlers.  Cheyenne Harry would appear again in Ford's HELL BENT to save a dance hall girl from bank robbers in these two rarely-seen silent westerns.
