Desert Bandit (1941)

Today's Deal of the Day - Desert Bandit (1941)

Great western flick by famed director George Sherman. Personally I think this is an above average B western with plenty of good action scenes. Tom Ewell, best known for his role as the husband in The Seven Year Itch, has a bit part as one of the Texas Rangers. This film was remade in 1943 as Riders of the Deadline, which I have seen, but if anyone has I'd love to hear your opinions on it.
