The Durango Kid, the Avenger - A young man returns home after several years of absence to find that a gang is not only after his family ranch, but also his girlfriend. The Durango Kid, the Avenger (1957) Director: Joseph Kane Screenwriters: Robert Creighton Williams Stars: Anna Maria Alberghetti, Ben Cooper, Jim Davis Genre: Western Country: United States Language: German Also known as: The Trail Leads to El Paso Release Date: January 25, 1957 (United States) Location: Republic Studios - 4024 Radford Avenue, North Hollywood, Los Angeles, California, USA(Studio) Reviews: Once again I have found another Western by Jim Davis, which he made for Republic Pictures and director/producer Joe Kane. This time he is Dean Cannary, a ruthless owner of the waters of the titular town. He is at war with the older Wayne Shattuck (Harry Shannon), who previously fired him. Good thing his son Johnny (Ben Cooper) has returned home to help him in this fight. I'll stop here and just say that I really enjoyed another of those old-fashioned movies from the now-defunct Republic, especially when Davis was on screen with his creepy smile. That made him perfect for the role of JR Ewing's father! As always, he wears his western boots well. Both Cooper and Shannon give it their all acting chops against him. I also liked Anna Maria Alberghetti as Anita, the woman Johnny loves but may have to marry Cannary if he gets his way. On that note, Duel at Apache Wells gets a recommendation from me. PS Since I always like to cite when a cast member from my favorite film, It's a Wonderful Life, is in another, here it's Argentina Brunetti - there Mrs. Martini - who plays the Shuttucks' housekeeper, Tia Maria. Her presence is charming enough when she's on screen. - written by "tavm" on IMDb.com Also known as (AKA): (Original title) Duel at Apache Wells Argentina Duelo en Pozo Apache(Theatrical title) Australia Duel at Apache Wells Austria The Durango Kid, the Avenger Brazil Tirania das Balas Canada Duel at Apache Wells(English) Canada Bagarre à Apache Wells(French) Denmark Dødspasset i Arizona Finland Preerian teräsnyrkki France Bagarre à Apache Wells Greece I koilada tis kataras(transliterated title) Italy Combattimento ai pozzi apache Netherlands Duel om de apache-bron(unofficial title) New Zealand Duel at Apache Wells(English) Romania Duel la Apache Wells South Africa Duel at Apache Wells(English) Sweden Duell vid djävulsklippan United Kingdom Duel at Apache Wells United Kingdom The Durango Gunfighter(alternative title) United States Duel at Apache Wells West Germany Durango Kid, the Avenger West Germany The trail leads to El Paso (alternative title) ✘ Website: https://www.grjngo.de ► Don't miss any more Western films: https://bit.ly/grjngo-abo FOLLOW US! ✘ Facebook - https://bit.ly/grjngo-de-facebook SUPPORT US! ✘ Become a member - https://bit.ly/3lCFHYh MORE FILMS! ► Spaghetti Westerns: https://bit.ly/italowestern ► All playlists: https://bit.ly/alle-playlists #westernfilme #cowboyfilme #italowestern COPYRIGHT: All of the films published by us are legally licensed.
