Kit Parker Films will release on Blu-ray
Saddle Up Westerns: Apache Rifles / Panhandle. The double-feature release is scheduled to arrive on the market on January 21.
APACHE RIFLES (1964)
Jeff Preston (Audie Murphy) commands an Arizona cavalry outpost. He hates the Apaches and fights them fiercely -- until he meets a part-Indian missionary (Linda Lawson). But there's gold on the Apache land and greedy white miners (led by L.Q. Jones) will do anything to get it. A tough little Western from William Witney, a legendary action director, filmed around Lone Pine.
PANHANDLE (1948)
When his brother is murdered, reformed gunman John Sands (Rod Cameron) straps his guns on to go after the killers -- and realizes the locals can't see beyond his outlaw past. Filmed around Lone Pine and directed by genre expert Lesley Selander, this superior Western (one of Selander's best) was co-written and co-produced by Blake Edwards (who also plays a young gunslinger).
