VCI Entertainment, given access to the Universal Pictures film vault, announced this past week that a new 2K film restoration, from the original 35mm camera negative, of the 1941 “Million Dollar” Western serial, The Riders of Death Valley, will be available as both DVD and Blu-ray product offerings on Nov. 24.

The directing team of Ford Beebe and Ray Taylor, who also teamed for such classic cliffhangers as Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe, The Green Hornet, Winners of the West and Don Winslow of the Navy, delivered an epic Western serial, running 15 chapters and featuring an all-star cast that includes Dick Foran (The Petrified Forest, My Little Chickadee, The Mummy’s Hand, etc.), Buck Jones (Western legend who died tragically in the Cocoanut Grove in 1942), Guinn 'Big Boy' Williams (Santa Fe Trail, Virginia City, Station West), Leo Carrillo (The Cisco Kid), Noah Beery Jr. and Jeanne Kelly (aka: Jean Brooks — The Falcon and Co-eds, The Leopard Man, The Seventh Victim, Youth Runs Wild) as the good guys.  

They are pitted against an equally impressive cast of villains, including Charles Bickford as Wolf Reade, Lon Chaney, Jr. and Roy Barcroft.
