    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      This film is "the last picture show" in Larry McMurtry's novel "The Last Picture Show." Sonny and Duane don't stay for the whole movie, as it doesn't hold their interest and they are distracted by memories. (In Peter Bogdanovich's film adaptation "The Last Picture Show," the last picture show is Howard Hawks' "Red River.")
    • Quotes

      Sheriff Brand: Suppose I told you there were half a dozen warrants out for his arrest right now. One for killing a man out of Silver City, Colorado, eight years ago with a knife. Another for killing four Chiricahua Indians.

      Alexander Kain: Eight years ago? Well, that's ridiculous. The boy couldn't have been more than twelve years old!

      Sheriff Brand: You don't judge a rattlesnake by his age. He's a rattler whether he's got one rattle or a dozen.

    enjoyable
    I had forgotten this movie and how much I enjoyed it back in the 50's. I enjoyed most of Audie Murphy's westerns , but do not have a copy of "The Kid From Texas" (hope to get one soon). The only trouble with some of these movies is that when I see them as an adult, they are not the way I remembered them.
