Director: RAY TAYLOR. Screenplay: John T. Neville. Story: Charles E. Barnes. Film editor: Bernard Loftus. Photography: Allen Thompson, Herbert Kirkpatrick. Art director: Ralph Berger. Music: Oliver Wallace, David Klatzkin, Mischa Bakaleinikoff. Stunts: Cliff Lyons. Sound recording: Buddy Myers. Supervising producer: Irving Starr. Producer: Buck Jones.
Presented by Carl Laemmle. Copyright 29 October 1935 by Universal Pictures Corp. U.S. release: November 1935. No recorded New York opening. 6 reels. 58 minutes.
COMMENT: Action a-plenty in this extremely lively, if somewhat routine storywise, Buck Jones entry. Ray Taylor's direction is a shade more inventive than usual and even incorporates a couple of quite startling editing effects, as well as a bit of odd staging which pushes Carl Stockdale into the limelight at Buck Jones' expense.
The cast is nothing if not "B" star-studded with old friends like Lafe McKee and Charles King in solid roles, whilst Ben Corbett, Niles Welch and Stanley Blystone have to contend with little more than walk-ons.
Walter Miller, assisted by Bob Kortman and Lee Shumway, ably distinguish themselves as the heavies, whilst Miss Wynters makes a most attractive heroine.
On the debit side, the film editor tends to go overboard on cross-cutting, and "Silver" is given a little too much footage, but, all in all, "The Ivory Handled Gun" rates as slightly above average.
