Paul Page
Directed by Ray Enright
Print: Black and White
Runtime: 82 min.
Genre: Western
Surprisingly little known, Universal's Men of Texas boasts an impressive cast and a fairly exciting and complex storyline.
Set just after the Civil War, the film stars Robert Stack as Chicago war correspondent Barry Conovan,
who is sent by his newspaper to Texas to get the low-down on the martial law that has been imposed on the state.,
Conovan is accompanied by Sam Sawyer (Leo Carrillo), his photographer-and never mind that newspapers didn't run photographs in 1866!
Despite the good intentions of General Sam Houston (William Farnum), Texas is in the hands of carpetbaggers,
scallawags and tinhorn dictators, the worst of whom is Henry Jackson (Brod Crawford), a self-styled patriot who runs his section of the territory like his own private fiefdom,
with an army of outlaws at his beck and call.
The plot gets even hairier when both Conovan and Jackson fall in love with Jane Baxter Scott (Anne Gwynne),
whose younger brother Robert (Jackie Cooper) is a living embodiment of the ideological confusion plaguing postwar Texas.
