Tumbleweeds (1925): William S. Hart

     Directed by King Baggot, Tumbleweeds (1925) was William S. Hart's final movie. It is also theorized that he did much of the directing himself as well. Ravaged with the onset of age and the cumulative effect of injuries sustained performing stunts over the years, he retired after filming. Immensely proud of his last work years later, in his epic farewell, Hart added an 8 minute introduction to the film upon it's re-release in 1939. The story concerns a drifting cowboy faced with the closing of the West and the Great Cherokee Strip Land Rush of 1893. William S. Hart is in fine form and the film is still entertaining 90 years later. Barbara Bedford co-stars as Hart's love interest.
