The film is remarkable for several reasons, foremost among them the awe-inspiring spectacle of greed in action that is the land rush.

Superior western and a key film in Hart's filmography.

Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
... more realistic portrayals remain more in tune with modern day anti-heroes than the more popular cowboy heroes that appeared on screen before the advent of John Wayne

Audience Reviews for Tumbleweeds

Dec 30, 2011

Starring William S. Hart, silent western star. The villains aren't subtle, but many tried and true elements that are standard in westerns are present here. These elements were tried and found to be true in Hart pics. The romance between the cowboy and his girl has some sweet touches of comedy. The cowboy's buddy is a classic type. The racing horses, trio of musicians who briefly appear to "sing" the title song, and the triumph of good over evil are all satisfying in this well developed early example of a silent western.
