Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Buck Jones was one of the 'Three Mesquiteers' and made over 160 Westerns—this was him in his prime, before the tragic 1942 Cocoanut Grove fire that took his life.
Released in the thick of the Great Depression, 'Branded' sold audiences a 61-minute escape to open land and second chances—pure cinematic comfort food.
