Poster for the movie West of Dodge City

West of Dodge City (Columbia, 1947)

The Durango Kid comes to the aid of the heirs of a rancher who had hired Steve Ramsey (the Durango Kid’s alter ego) as a surveyor to check on the suitability of the area for a dam that is being promoted by Henry Hardison and who was murdered for his opposition to selling his ranch. What is Hardison’s real scheme? And will Steve or Durango be able to persuade the kids to stick it out, when Hardison applies pressure? A middling entry in the series, but enjoyable enough for fans.

  Mildly recommended. Otto judiciously thinks this movie is OK, but not great.

Movie 107 for 2021.
