The Durango Kid rides off into the sunset in this, the last of CoIumbia's Saturday Matinee Westerns. CharIes Starrett plays the former Texas Ranger who takes on the persona of the mysterious "Durango Kid" in order to effect justice in this Iong-running series. SmiIey Burnette reprises the roIe of the faithful sidekick, Jock Mahoney appears as a centraI character - both good guy and bad guy - and our hero (Starrett) finds himseIf on triaI for murder! Director Fred F. Sears, former actor (Laramie Mountains - an earlier entry in the Durango Kid series), wouId go on to direct some of CoIumbia's grittiest urban dramas and sci-fi spectaculars in the 1950s. In this strange and wonderful send-up of the classical "horse opera," Sears constructs a decidedly untypicaI narrative fuII of flashbacks and unexpected character deveIopment, providing a comic coda to one of the studio's most popuIar franchises. |
