Flame of the West(1945)
LAW COMES TO THE FLAMING FRONTIER!...where gun-law is the only LAW!
Flame of the West Synopsis
Flame of the West has always attracted more attention than most of Johnny Mack Brown's Monogram westerns, if for no other reason than the offbeat casting of Douglass Dumbrille. Usually seen in villainous roles, Dumbrille herein offers a sincere, effective performance as a scrupulously honest US marshal named Nightlander. When he takes on a gang of crooked gamblers, Nightlander is shot down in cold blood, compelling frontier doctor John Poole (Johnny Mack Brown) to put his Hippocratic oath on the back burner and strap on the shootin' irons.
Flame of the West (1945) is a western film directed by Lambert Hillyer, released on June 25, 1945 with a runtime of 1h 11m. It stars Johnny Mack Brown, Raymond Hatton, Joan Woodbury and Douglass Dumbrille. Viewers rate it 7.0 out of 10 across 3 ratings.
