Details

Charles Starrett plays lawman Steve Forsythe in Ridin' the Outlaw Trail. Somewhere along the line, of course, Steve is obliged to don the mask of The Durango Kid, mysterious righter of wrongs. The "wrongs" in this instance include the theft of $20,000 in gold, and the "kidnapping" of a blacksmith's forge! Jim Bannon, who only a few months earlier had played the heroic Red Ryder, provides the villainy in this fast-paced "Durango Kid" entry

No New York opening. 56 minutesSYNOPSIS: The Durango Kid captures a Texas outlaw in the 1880s. NOTES: Number 120 of Starrett's 132 starring "B" westerns. Number 123 of Smiley Burnett's 142 features.COMMENT: Although this Durango Kid entry musters up plenty of action (complete with running inserts), the story engages little interest, and the direction — aside from the action spots — is disappointingly dull, whilst the cast line-up appears to me to be definitely second- rate. Burnett's foolery rates poorly in this tired entry, and even his songs are mediocre. And as for the camera-conscious Pee Wee King and his Golden West Cowboys...
