A Surveyor's Error

Wild Bill Elliott plays the title role in The Son Of Davy Crockett also named Davy or Dave to tell them apart for the audience. In this film he's got a mission from no less than President Ulysses S. Grant.

It seems as though a surveyor's error has left a piece of the west in a technical limbo. The piece is called Yucca Strip and it's got itself a self styled monarch played by Kenneth MacDonald.

So Elliott and sidekick Dub Taylor have themselves a mission to see that an honest plebiscite is run and the place can become a legitimate part of the USA.

Released in July of 1941 The Son Of Davy Crockett no doubt found an audience who were seeing a lot of tinpot dictators springing up and causing all kinds of problems for honest citizens around the world. This was something no descendant of Davy Crockett would stand for.

With the political overtones for the adults, The Son Of Davy Crockett was action filled enough for Saturday afternoon kids in the summer of 1941.

The "son" is asked to help bring Texas into the Union.

While strictly B fare, this modest little film zips right along. Elliot is excellent, Hayes has lines that don't insult your intelligence and Iris Meredith is easy on the eyes.

Anecdotes
One of over 100 Columbia features, mostly Westerns, sold to Hygo Television Films in the 1950s, which marketed them under the name of Gail Pictures; opening credits were redesigned, with some titles misspelled, the credit order of the players rearranged, some names misspelled, and new end titles attached, thus eliminating any evidence of their Columbia roots. Apparently, the original material was not retained in most of the cases, and the films have survived, even in the Sony library, only with these haphazardly created replacement opening and end credits.
