The Apache Kid (1941): cast, story & where to watch
1941 · Film
Released in 1941, The Apache Kid is a western film directed by George Sherman, running about 56 minutes. “Fighting fire with fire...The Apache Kid turns outlaw to beat a crime king at his own game!” — that tagline sets the tone.
What it’s about. Don "Red" Barry, Republic's answer to Jimmy Cagney, stars in The Apache Kid. Barry plays Pete Dawson, a pugnacious cowboy who dons a mask and becomes a stagecoach robber. It's all in a good cause, however: Dawson is stealing from the town boss (Leroy Mason) who has ripped off a group of miners. Heroine Lynn Merrick is the daughter of the local judge, so naturally she misunderstands Barry's motives, at least until fadeout time.
Who’s in it. The Apache Kid stars Don Barry as Pete Dawson aka The Apache Kid, Lynn Merrick as Barbara Taylor, LeRoy Mason as Nick Barter and Robert Fiske as Joe Walker, among others.
