Interesting facts

Stampede is a 1936 Canadian-American Western film directed by Ford Beebe and starring Charles Starrett.

Production

In the mid-1930s Canada enacted a law according to the British Cinematograph Act of 1927: if American studios wanted to distribute any of their films in Canada, they would have to accept and release a certain number of Canadian-made films. Columbia Pictures complied with this policy by sending some of its contract players and crew members to Canada, where Columbia could exert some control over the quality of the productions. Kenneth J.

Stampede was one of the earliest of these Canadian-American features, and Columbia's new cowboy star Charles Starrett was the only American actor in the cast. The screenplay was based on a Peter B. Kyne story. Although the film is distinguished by offbeat casting and unusual Canadian scenery, reviewers of the day found it no different from the usual western fare.
