Empty Saddles is a 1936 American Western film directed by Lesley Selander. It is a Buck Jones B Western. (Empty Saddles is also the title of a 1962 Burt Arthur mystery novel).
Finding a deserted cattle ranch, Buck buys it and turns it into a dude ranch. But Buck is quickly in trouble with sheep men who want the ranch and then with outlaws who kidnap the daughter of the wealthy Mr. Grant.
Here we can see that Brooksie could very well act in talkies and had a really beautiful voice, contrary to popular belief that her career (and others) flopped because of unsuitable voice and such. According to IMDB, Louise Brooks had earlier turned down an offer to appear in a Buck Jones western. However, by 1936 she was evidently grateful for the work in what would be one of her last films. She told a reporter, "I am delighted with my role in 'Empty Saddles'. It gives me an opportunity to do something, not just stand around and look pretty. I wouldn't trade it for all the other roles I ever had because I am really acting now, not just being an ornament, and I feel that, at last, I am on the road toward getting someplace in pictures."
Ironically, despite this quote, Brooks would soon afterwards quit acting and leave Hollywood forever. Her last movie was Overland Stage Raiders in 1938, another western, alongside nobody less than John Wayne (still mostly unknown and doing B movies at the time).

I never pictured Louise Brooks being in a western. She made 3 pictures after this and retired in 1938. She died in 1985 at 78. One of my all time favorites. A real beauty.

Louise Brooks. ❤❤❤❤

[@sandy3482]

thank you Louise brooks last movie

[@raresilentsandtalkies]

You're very welcome... Actually her last movie is Overland Stage Raiders (1938), also a Western, with John Wayne.

[@garyolsen3409]

Not true. She made 3 more after this and retired in 1938.

FELT, LIKE A SATURDAY MORNING 60 YEARS AGO!!!!!!!!!!!! THANKS 100MILL. UPLOADER.

[@Celluloidwatcher]

Thank you for the film, Empty Saddles, with Buck Jones and the one I came to see, Louise Brooks. She looked wonderful (no page boy bob, but still lovely), and a lovely speaking voice. As I always say, what a shame she was mistreated by the Hollywood establishment. Otherwise, she would have done more films.

[@donnachase632]

Another good Buck Jones. Thanks for showing it.

[@markw4206]

For someone who was likely not happy stooping to playing B westerns to pay the bills, she put on a creditable performance. What a tragic story.

[@markw4206]

@@raresilentsandtalkies I saw that on IMDb. Hard to tell if it was bravado or sincere, as it came amidst a lingering unofficial Hollywood blacklisting (for being "difficult").

[@kaycoats8344]

She wouldn't sleep with them so they blacklisted her. That's why she was "difficult"

Louise brooks a los 30 años 😘

Beautiful smile and what a body can sure tell Lulu was a dancer

[@whiskeyriver4322]

My childhood crush girl. She did life her way or no way at all. Too bad this is poor quality, she's just too lovely to see this way.

[@thomaspinter5352]

There is no Garbo, there is no Detrich there is only L Brooks

[@garyolsen3409]

There's no such thing as "only" Louise Brooks. Never did like Garbo. I thought she was boring and a lousy actress.

[@resetthis9838]

...in Empty Saddles

[@donnachase632]

I enjoy Buck's movies so much. It's a shame he died so soon.

[@paulstark6818]

What a ripper the mix of humour action and romance ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂

[@sharonpolikoff7282]

Boston media ran features this past November marking the 80th anniversary of the deadly Cocoanut Grove nightclub fire in which Buck Jones was fatally injured saving others.

[@patsaylor8973]

I guess I am the only one hear to see Buck Jones and Silver!

[@MrBlutarskyZeroPointZero]

For a movie 80+ years old, I'd say the quality isn't too bad... Thanks for posting this film... Where'd you find it?

[@claudalfred2064]

Good stuff

[@anneemms4934]

Thanks Pedro. We don’t get this cool stuff on our tvs in Australia

[@bizzybee852]

Great movie! Thanks!

[@annebellette201]

Good movie thank you 😊

[@joanlistol5412]

Always love the movies with actor Buck Jones

[@resetthis9838]

Did people then really think there were cowboys riding around out west in those get-ups?

[@anombrerose6311]

Boots! and "Empty Saddles".

[@jeffpagan7735]

They never made great use of Louise. Her whole career was based on a few great European movies and a heavy dose of what could have been.

[@pmullins1495]

Well, I don't understand what's going on ... but it looks like fun. :)

[@martinamorgan1119]

There is silver?

[@johncrawford6992]

Picture quality not bad but no sound
