West of Carson City Synopsis
West of Carson City remains one of the best of Johnny Mack Brown's Universal westerns. The story takes place in a gold-rush community where the locals are taken to the cleaners by duplicitious Eastern gamblers. When it becomes obvious that the local constabulary has been "bought off" by the crooks, two-fisted cattleman Jim Bannister (Brown) swings into action. The film's highlight is an outsized fistic brawl between the hero and secondary villain Breed, played by loose-limbed comic stuntman Frank Mitchell.
West of Carson City (1940) is a western film directed by Ray Taylor, released on January 19, 1940 with a runtime of 56m. It stars Johnny Mack Brown, Bob Baker, Fuzzy Knight and Peggy Moran. Viewers rate it 5.5 out of 10 across 2 ratings.
