The Man from Tumbleweeds (1940)


Columbia Pictures
Directed by Joseph H. Lewis
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Encore)

Bill Saunders is Wild Bill Elliott, whose fast guns are just what the good people of Tumbleweeds need to rid themselves of the gang led by Powder Kilgore. The governor sends Bill some ex-cons to act as deputies, promising them pardons if they get the gang. Shifty is one of the outlaws and pulls a triple cross, leading Bill to their hideout. A long gunfight ensues. Wild Bill wears his guns backwards, but I watched him draw and think it actually slows him down a bit.
