Satan's Cradle (1949): cast, story & where to watch

1949 · Film · ★ 4.5

Released in 1949, Satan's Cradle is a western film directed by Ford Beebe, running about 60 minutes. “THE CISCO KID is out for MURDER!” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. Satan's Cradle was the fourth of producer Phil Krasne's "Cisco Kid" programmers for United Artists. Anyone who remembers the Cisco TV series will know without being told that Duncan Renaldo and Leo Carrillo essayed the roles of wandering do-gooders Cisco and Pancho. Unlike previous entries, Satan's Cradle was directed by serial veteran Ford Beebe rather than the unimaginative Wallace Fox; the improvement is immediately noticeable. This time, Cisco takes on a frontier megalomaniac, shyster lawyer Steve Gentry (Douglas Fowley), who has taken over a mining town. Gentry's confederate is dancehall girl Lil (Ann Savage) who is as deadly as she is beautiful. When itinerant preacher Henry Lane (Byron Foulger) is beaten to a pulp by Gentry's goons (an astonishingly brutal sequence), Cisco and Pancho move in for the kill.

Who’s in it. Satan's Cradle stars Duncan Renaldo as The Cisco Kid, Leo Carrillo as Pancho, Ann Savage as Lil and Douglas Fowley as Steve Gentry, among others.

How it landed. With an audience score of 4.5/10, Satan's Cradle has proved divisive with audiences.
