About The Pecos Pistol
A partial remake of and using footage from 1941's "Rawhide Rangers" this Western short is about a ranger who pretends to turn outlaw in order to track down the gang who killed his brother, also a ranger.
Directed by Will Cowan, The Pecos Pistol leans on a strong ensemble — Tex Williams, George Lloyd, Terry Frost — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about western titles of 1949.
