Texican

Revenge Knows No Borders.

Audie Murphy (The Red Badge Of Courage) and Broderick Crawford (1949 Oscar-winner Best Actor, All The Kings Men) star as sworn enemies who battle it out for control of an entire town in this action-packed Western adventure.

Jess Carlin (Murphy) is a former sheriff living in peaceful Mexican exile who must cross the border into Texas to uncover the truth regarding his brother´s murder. Pursued by bloodthirsty bounty hunters and risking certain death, Carlin arrives in the town of Rum Rock, where he finds a populace gripped by fear. The evil town boss, Luke Starr (Crawford), not only set up Carlin in the first place, but murdered his brother, a respected newspaperman, for exposing his corrupt ways. While investigating the murder and the mounting conspiracy of silence, Carlin finds romance in the arms of the beautiful dancehall girl Kits O´Neal (Diana Lorys), for whom Crawford carries a torch. The result is a rousing frontier drama which explodes into a blazing shootout at sundown. Murphy was WWII´s most decorated GI, and parlayed his boyishly handsome good looks and war record into a thriving film career. His impeccable image made him a great foil for famed screen heavy Broderick Crawford.
