Texas

Texas (1941) starring William Holden, Glenn Ford, Claire Trevor. In 1866, former Confederates Dan (Holden) and Tod (Ford) head to Texas to try and make their fortunes. They end up on opposite sides of the law -- and in competition for the same girl (Trevor). This Western is played largely for laughs, although there's lots of good cowboy action, too. There are several shootouts, a stagecoach robbery, a cattle drive and a stampede. Altogether, it's a pretty entertaining movie, although the ending seems rather abrupt. (Subtitles are offered in English, Japanese and Spanish; closed captions are also available.) Grade: B
