Louise Brooks with Buck Jones
Universal Pictures Film Still from EMPTY SADDLES
August-September 1936 · Hollywood, California

A cowboy movie with Buck Jones hardly seemed the ideal genre for a Louise Brooks comeback vehicle, but she was desperate for movie work of any kind by 1936. More to the point, she needed the $300 paycheck for the film's week-long shooting. Having turned up her nose at a Buck Jones Western some six years before, Brooks now gritted her teeth through the forgettable EMPTY SADDLES.
