Curiosità

Beau Bandit is a 1930 American Pre-Code Western film, directed by Lambert Hillyer, from a screenplay by Wallace Smith, based on his short story, "Strictly Business" which appeared in the April 1929 edition of Hearst's International-Cosmopolitan. The film starred Rod La Rocque, Mitchell Lewis, Doris Kenyon, and Walter Long. The story is based loosely on the legend of Robin Hood.

Production

The film was originally titled Strictly Business. RKO changed the name to Beau Bandit in January 1930. It included the first depiction in a talking film of a deaf character, Coloso. Although sound films could now depict deaf speech, Coloso was also mute, beginning a time in American cinema of portraying silent deaf persons.
