Cyclone Fury (1951)
Correcting info in previous comment on Clayton Moore
Previous comment stated Clayton Moore was soon to be The Lone Ranger at the time this film came out; he had already been portraying The Lone Ranger on television since 1949. He took a break for 2 years in 1952 and 1953 after filming "The Legend of the Lone Ranger." Someone else played the role for that couple of years. So he played in a number of films during that break--always recognizable because of his voice; another actor with a very similar voice, Robert Lowery, was in films at this time also, mostly westerns it seems like. Lowery appeared in a Gunsmoke episode or two in the 60's and you'd swear it was Clayton Moore.
Round-Up Time in Texas (1937)
The jungle set used here
contrary to another comment that they must have used a set built for a jungle film---it was actually the Republic Studios back lot western set that was used for this film. as well as the back lot jungle area already there at the time. The western set was used as a number of other locations over the year also. The Spanish arches seen in the film were at the Mexican village part of the set and used over the years as a fort, a North African village, etc; all they do is shoot from different camera angles and place the appropriate foliage and decorations here and there, and voilà!!! They can be anywhere. the western street was strange in the movie as South Africa, it having been used numerous times in movies and TV westerns. The republic studios back lot was part of the CBS Studio Center beginning in the mid 60's or so and even Gunsmoke used that set a number of times.
