The marshal
Streaming video - 2020
Set in 1915, the Marshal revolves around a surprise visit to the small Oklahoma town of Ft. Bowers from Hollywoodland film producer William Selig and his eccentric director Wolfgang Gulman. It seems that Mr. Selig wants to feature prominent town marshal Bill Tilghman and his deputy Bat Masterson in a new moving picture. Not only does he want real lawmen, but he also hopes to feature real outlaws. Selig feels that people back East will flock to theaters to see Cole Younger, Frank James, and other desperados "rob" a bank on the big screen. After getting his young wife Zoe's cautious consent, Tilghman agrees to play himself and to secure the services of several men still in territorial prison. Things go awry in this clash of cul...tures when the outlaws, even though under heavy guard, hatch a plan to turn the tables on the law in one last attempt to regain their lost fame. Marshal Tilghman comes to rue the day he ever agreed to bring such chaos to his sleepy little town.
