Charles Robert Starrett was an American actor best known for his starring role in the Durango Kid western series. When he retired he held the record for starring in the longest-running string of feature films. 65
Tommy Duncan brought me here, but I enjoy everything with Smiley Burnette in it. He deserves more recognition. My grandkids and great grandkids can't watch one minute of anything in B&W. They will sure miss out on a lot of great movies.
I agree, Smiley was a fantastic talent and sometimes is the very best thing about these films. I think he got much more quality musical time in these series than he had in the Gene Autry pictures. No complaints about that here!
@@michaelklein5242 I Asked in a separate post, but since you are a Tommy Duncan fan, you may know this. Was this film before or after he was singing for Bob Wills? I didn’t think this was a very good exhibit of his talent. He was a whole lot more precise in his delivery and phrasing with The Playboys.
Fred Sears, who plays Ashton here, soon because one of Columbia B unit's busiest directors, helming a very large number of films. His best known and most beloved one by fans is undoubtedly Earth vs the Flying Saucers (a picture Orson Welles was said to secretly enjoy!). From what I've read, despite the lack of time and money he was given for his films, Fred worked extremely long hours in the editing room doing his best to give his films a little something extra. He really cared about these little films. Sadly, stress and overwork were partly for his dying at a young age in his late 40s. PS: Hooray for Smiley! 🎉🎈🎊🎈
I don't know if anybody noticed but Clayton Moore was in this movie The Lone Ranger . Great movie love these old westerns and Charles Starett and I will go to old friend Smiley Burnette.

In the 1950,s tv 1/2 hr. Show a cowboy that looks like Steve Garret except that he had a black horse and his hideout was behind a Waterfall entrance to his cave .Question Can anyone tell me the name of that tv program? Thanks eh!
"Comatose" is an appropriate new Name for this sleepy little town, 'Heads buried in the Sand" community . Cattlemen losing cattle, and Sheep men losing flocks, continuously ! And miners shut down ¹by Town's wealthy Carpet Bagger (all in a Land Grab conspiracy). (Just like today. 😂) Yet there's no perimeter pickets protecting herds, flocks, nor mines. Did these simpleton learn nothing of "strategy & tactics" in that awful awful SINFUL War ???
