Wolf Dog (1958) is a Northwestern movie, directed and produced by Sam Newfield and released by Regal Films. In August 1957, Newfield and a camera crew filmed the movie in and around Markdale, Ontario, near Owen Sound, Ontario, Canada. The movie co-starred Hollywood actors Jim Davis, Allison Hayes and John Hart along with Canadian actors Austin Willis and Tony Brown. Several locals were offered a chance to be unpaid "extras". Among those were Paul Hutton, Jerry Bartley, Constable Clarence Bowins, David Jackson, Officer Jack Johnston, Ron Wyvill, Don Wyvill.

While not an artistic or commercial success, the film is noteworthy in that it was created almost 40 years before Telefilm Canada and federal government subsidies enabled big-name movies to be filmed in Canadian locales. Markdale residents were delighted to have Hollywood make a film in their town.

It was hoped a film set in "The Great North Country" would be a crossover hit in the U.S. and the Commonwealth, both lucrative movie markets. For reasons unknown, the film disappeared from the public eye for almost 50 years. One interesting, though unsubstantiated, rumor suggested one of the main actors wanted all traces of the film destroyed. The only known copies of the movie are an incomplete version stored at the National Archives of Canada and a complete version at the U.S. Library of Congress.

Copies of the movie can be found at the Markdale Public Library, Ontario, Canada, donated by the creator of the fan site, Jeff Wilson. He, along with actors from the film. Ron Wyvill and Paul Hutton, appeared in a short documentary made by Rogers Television, Owen Sound. Wilson and Wyvill also organized several screenings in the town of Markdale, Ontario, where the film was originally shot. There is also a link to a radio interview with Ron Wyvill on YouTube which can be found under the channel Toonguy85, belonging to Wilson.

All distribution copyrights belong to 20th Century Fox.

Le Death Rides the Range occidental de Ken Maynard, par ailleurs standard, se distingue quelque peu par une orientation d'actualité. L'intrigue concerne un groupe d'espions d'un pays étranger sans nom (bon sang, ils sonnent certainement allemands) qui se dirigent vers l'ouest pour saper le moral des Américains. Dans ce malaise erre Maynard, soi-disant cowpoke sans racine mais en réalité un agent du FBI. Les choses commencent à se réchauffer lorsque les méchants revendiquent un puits d'hélium sur la propriété de l'héroïne Fay McKenzie. Le moment le plus idiot du film se produit à mi-chemin, lorsque le méchant en chef Charlie King commence à battre tout le monde à bout de bras, sans aucune égratignure sur sa propre personne.
