Man From Laredo

GUNMEN FROM LAREDO-Columbia-1959-Techni-Color cheapy western about an innocent cowboy (Robert Knapp who had been in MESA OF LOST WOMEN) framed for murder by some corrupt brothers who also kill his wife (THE VIOLENT YEARS’ Jean Moorehead!). He goes to prison but escapes to seek revenge. He gets help from a Mexican woman (Jana Davi) who’d been kidnapped by an Indian (X-Brands). Corman vet Paul Birch is the U.S. Marshall who wants to see justice done.

Producer/Director Wallace MacDonald was a former silent actor who produced a lot of films (including two Karloff “hang” movies) but he only directed three films and MAN FROM LAREDO was the only one with sound! Star Knapp did a lot of TV later on.
