It is certainly odd seeing Louise in a western, let alone in a pair of dungarees. The longer hair is a bit of a shock as well. I saw this movie in the mid-nineties, and is it a tiresome affair. Here’s some publicity stills with Buck Jones and Louise Brooks doing their best to look enthused.

Article in Pittsburgh Post-Gazette telling about Louise’s big “comeback” in her upcoming role in ‘Empty Saddles’ with Buck Jones.

Empty Saddles. This is Miles Loner’s trusty horse.  A wild stallion, was believed to be un-tameable, as no-one could stay more than 10 seconds on its back. Reason why they named it “Empty Saddles”.

The highly aggressive horse was about to be sacrificed, but then it met Miles. The horse seemed to soften towards Mile’s gentle animal loving personality and even allowed the cowboy to ride on its back.  Empty Saddles sees Miles as some sort of herd mate and is very protective over him. still aggressive with other people, wont let anyone else ride them unless Miles calms them down.
