saving the day . . . again

Riders Of The Rio Grande (1943)

So many B-westerns were made in the 1930's and 40's and many of those leave a lot to be desired. Thankfully there was one company in particular, Republic Pictures, who could be counted on to give us something of decent quality.

Riders Of The Rio Grande features The Three Mesquiteers once again to the rescue. When they ride into town they're quickly mistaken for a gang of outlaws. They roll with it and in the end the real bad guys are all found out.

How many B-westerns were made that are so similar to this? A thousand? More? They only took mere days to film in many cases. It seems like the Encore Westerns channel has a never-ending stream of titles I've never seen . . . and I've seen quite a few! But I just can't get enough. A week without watching one of these is a weak week of movies no matter what else I might see!
