Film Chest announced this
past week that the long wait is over for collectors anxious to get their hands
on the 1955/56 short-lived Western adventure series, The Adventures of Champion the
Wonder Horse — a spinoff of the popular TV series of the period, The Gene
Autry Show, with the legendary Western and theatrical serial filmmaker Armand
Schaefer acting as the show’s producer.
23 episodes have been
restored from surviving film materials and will arrive on Feb. 4 as a
three-disc collection. The series,
starring child star Barry Curtis as Ricky North and Gene Autry’s Champion,
featured guest stars that proved to be a virtual who’s who of Western stars of
the period, including Tristram Coffin, Roy Barcroft and Walter Reed.
