Customer Reviews of Blazing Across the Pecos
Interesting vintage cowboy movie Good quality from 35 mm print. <
>Okay Durango Kid outing.
Better than average Durango....
I found this DVD for $9.99, and was pleased that Sony/Columbia has begun to put some of the Durango Kid releases on DVD. Blazing Across the Pecos is indeed entertaining. True, the plot is simple and tried, but unlike a couple of other reviewers, I believe this B-Western does hold interest, and, with such stand-outs as Smiley Burnette and Jock Mahoney, is fun to watch. You can't go wrong with a Durango Kid. Print quality is superb. Now, let's hope Sony will release a lot more Durangos [Bonanza Town is also out]. They've begun to put out some Randy Scott, Glenn Ford, and other "A" Westerners. During the late 1940s (with G. Autry and Ch. Starrett) and later in the 1950s (with Scott, Ford, and others) Columbia Pictures did justice to the Western movie genre. Now that Platinum Disc has released about 40 Hopalong Cassidy movies (all digitally remastered prints), Sony might think about putting out nicely-priced sets of Durangos....

>I do wish someone at Warner would consider some of the 1950s Randolph Scott Westerns, as well. While they generally weren't as well-produced as the Columbias, several of them (e.g., Carson City, Seven Men from Now, Westbound, Fort Worth, Colt .45) are superior and deserve to be put on DVD....
Blazing Across the Pecos
Voice over - "The greatest enemies to the civilization of the West were the white men" (on screen we see gun toting, whooping and hollering half-naked savages attacking an outpost) "who, through greed, armed the savages..."

> It's been a long time since I've bailed out on a movie (that I've paid good money for, purchase or rental, that is) but I came close with BLAZING ACROSS THE PECOS, a Durango Kid western starring Charles Starrett as the Durango Kid. Starrett played the masked crime-fighter (with an unmasked alter ego, of course) well over 50 times in the 1940s and 50s. Think Roy Rogers or Gene Autry without the singing ability or audience appeal.
<
> In any event, I watched the whole 55-minutes of this thing. A bad hombre and henchman are selling guns to the indians and trying to drive out the decent merchants in town in the process. Smiley Burnette, kind of a poor man's Andy Devine, plays town Sheriff Smiley Burnette. The story is interrupted, or relieved, or suspended, three times for songs by the western swing band Red Arnall and His Western Aces.
<
> There are wagon train attacks, stagecoach ambushes, shoot outs with desperados, and any number of time fillers that are remarkably unexciting. Somehow, with Burnette in tow, the Durango Kid learns of the skullduggery and through great deeds of daring manages to foil the bad guy's nefarious plot.
<
> It's not fair to judge a long series like this on just one episode, but it's one of less than a handful Columbia has released and they ain't asking peanuts for it, either. Unless you absolutely have to have a Durango Kid collecting dust on the shelf, you'd do better buying a cheaper, and more entertaining, Gene Autry or Roy Rogers set. Not recommended at all.
