Ambush Trail(1946)
WAYLAID...BY HIGH ADVENTURE ON THE RANGE!
Ambush Trail Synopsis
One of four western films made for PRC by bantam-weight Bob Steele, Ambush Trail stars Steele as cowpoke Curley Thompson. The villain of the piece intends to bankrupt all the local ranchers and grab up the surrounding property for himself. But with Curley involved, the bad guy and his minions don't have a chance. The screenplay, by D. W. Griffith alumnus Elmer Clifton, is a medley of western cliches, pausing every so often for a first-rate action sequence. Perennial sagebrush sidekick Sid Saylor provides negligible comedy relief.
Ambush Trail (1946) is a action and western film directed by Harry L. Fraser, released on February 17, 1946 with a runtime of 1h. It stars Bob Steele, Syd Saylor, I. Stanford Jolley and Lorraine Miller. Viewers rate it 8.0 out of 10 across 1 ratings.
