Poster for the movie Riders of the Lone Star

Riders of the Lone Star (Columbia, 1947)

Famed outlaw Dusty Morton has apparently resurfaced after a decade, and crooks in the area are eager to find where Morton hid his loot. Morton’s son, now 13, does not believe his father was such a bad man, though he has little support for such a positive view, save for the opinion of the town drunk. Into this setting comes Steve Mason, who is looking for Morton, and Mason’s alter-ego, the Durango Kid. This series entry offers a moderately complex story, with one character given an opportunity for redemption, and some challenges for our hero.

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

Movie 250 for 2021.
