United Artists, released 18 June 1943, directed by Lesley Selander.
CAST: William Boyd, Andy Clyde, Jay Kirby, George Reeves, Gayle Lord, Earle Hodgins, Victor Jory, Douglas Fowley, Herb Rawlinson, Bob Mitchum. 67 minutes. (Available on an Echo Bridge DVD).
This one starts most excitingly with a splendid chase after bad man, Bob Mitchum. After he's gunned down, however, the pace slackens considerably, only to pick up again for a spectacularly photographed chase climax.
Gayle Lord makes the first of only two on-camera appearances. A small role followed in The Woman of the Town (also produced by her dad, Pop Sherman) in which she went by the name, Teddi Sherman - the handle she used (her real name was Theodora) for writing five or six movies and around forty or fifty TV eps for shows like The Rough Riders and Sea Hunt. Alas, Teddi has the femme lead in this one - and she is a most untalented actress. Were it not for her presence, Colt Comrades would be right up there with the best of the series. As it is, it's still must viewing for Mitchum fans!
