Early in 1937, a young film editor went on-location to St. George,
Utah, for the filming of Republic's The Painted Stallion. Rain and
cast problems put the production hopelessly behind schedule. The
studio summarily fired the director and replaced him with the film
editor. Thus was born the career of one of Hollywood's most famous
serial directors, Bill Witney. Witney went on to direct or codirect
23 Republic serials, working with such stars as William Benedict,
Hoot Gibson, Bela Lugosi, and Noah Beery, Sr. Witney's output
included some of the most famous cliffhangers of the era, such as
Adventures of Red Ryder, Spy Smasher, Drums of Fu Manchu, The Lone
Ranger, and The Lone Ranger Rides Again. Though he enjoyed a long
career as a feature film and television director, it is the
Republic serials for which he is best remembered. This engaging
story is a behind-the-scenes look at the heyday of the Hollywood
cliffhanger, the making of the movies, and the people involved in
them.
