Blazing the Western Trail (1945)

Columbia Pictures
Directed by Vernon Keays
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Turner Classic Movies)

Better-than-usual Durango Kid entry as two rival stagecoach lines vie for the coveted mail contract. One owner stoops to robbery and murder to win and it is up to the Durango Kid to infiltrate his gang and set things straight. There is an exciting stagecoach race with some great stunts for the ending. Musical relief by Bob Wills and The Texas Playboys is entertaining, but comedy relief by Dub Taylor as "Cannonball" is not.
