Personal connection to movie

My Father was one of the musicians in Al Trace's band, "Silly Symphonists". Though only 9 years old at the time, I still remember spending the Summer of 1944, while they made this film and "Rustlers of the Badlands". It was quite an adventure, visiting the set on the Columbia "ranch" as the location was called, where the Western set was. I have photos of me with Charles Starret and others. And what an education it was for a kid; visiting the sites of LA, travelling on the Twentieth Century Limited from NY to Chicago and the Sante Fe Super chief from Chicago to LA. I can even remember the man in the compartment next door, pointing out the trickle of water that he identified as the LA River, as we pulled into town. Would you please tell me if its available anywhere on VCR or DVD? Thank you.

Durango rides the vengeance trail .........

This post-war Durango Kid film finds the black-masked hero in top form. Dub "Cannonball " Taylor rides along as comic relief. A few cowboy crooners also turn up for good measure ,to appeal to the Singin' Cowboy fans....

Charles Starrett presents an imposing figure here, dressed all in black, astride his striking white stallion. This action-filled film provides lotsa good action, as Durango seeks vengeance for a robbery and murder involving his alter-ego's ranch.

These Durango Kid films were very popular and generally well-produced. In this one, we see a fun and entertaining matinée feature that will be enjoyed by most western fans.
