Sidne Silverman Variety Tumbleweed s marks Bill Hart’s return to the screen following his long lapse in picture making... It’s a welcome return. Bill Hart still means the West on the screen and he is seen, here under a new banner, a new hat and on a new horse. Mar 26, 2009 Full Review Mordaunt Hall New York Times Mr. Hart emphasizes all Carver's righteousness, his mental dexterity and physical prowess -- by a jerky move, a tell-tale mouth, a threatening eye or a well-belted waist and well-thrown-out chest. Mar 25, 2006 Full Review Ralph Flint Christian Science Monitor All that is asked of him, Mr. Hart does with a good grace and a most decent reserve, he having apparently during his temporary retirement from the screen cast from him all desire to shine emotionally on the screen. Mar 11, 2024 Full Review Michael W. Phillips, Jr. Goatdog's Movies The film is remarkable for several reasons, foremost among them the awe-inspiring spectacle of greed in action that is the land rush. Rated: 4/5 Nov 25, 2007 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews The film was well-received by the public and the critics. Rated: B May 31, 2007 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 4/5 Jun 11, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member One of the better 20s movies that I have seen. Yes, it has in our love story. Good guys bad guys yes, I recommend it. James Welch, Henderson, Arkansas January 2, 2023. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/03/23 Full Review Isaiah Y The first notable western in film history is William S. Hart's best film and his most famous. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/10/20 Full Review Audience Member The best thrilling Western movie ever made! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Starring William S. Hart, silent western star. The villains aren't subtle, but many tried and true elements that are standard in westerns are present here. These elements were tried and found to be true in Hart pics. The romance between the cowboy and his girl has some sweet touches of comedy. The cowboy's buddy is a classic type. The racing horses, trio of musicians who briefly appear to "sing" the title song, and the triumph of good over evil are all satisfying in this well developed early example of a silent western. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member See it with the prologue. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member A grandious Western brilliant directed and it feels like you were real in the Wild West my Favourite Scenes are the Land Rush Scene, the Scene with the Giant Cattle Herd, when the Hero dunk the Villain underwater and when the Hero catch his Sidekick with the Lasso the Main Actor William S. Hart is a great Old Fashioned Hero Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews
