Overland Bound is a 1929 American Western film directed by Leo D. Maloney and starring Maloney, Allene Ray, Jack Perrin and Lydia Knott. It is considered to be the first all-talking B Western to be made, following on from the success of the hit 1928 Fox Western In Old Arizona . Despite the drawback of the film's poor sound recording quality, it was successfully distributed. ^[1] It was Maloney's final film as he died from a stroke shortly after its release. ^[2]
