Texas Bad Man (1953): cast, story & where to watch
1953 · Film
Released in 1953, Texas Bad Man is a western film directed by Lewis D. Collins, running about 62 minutes. “Outlaw father against his sheriff son . . . in a gun fury story of the lawless west!” — that tagline sets the tone.
What it’s about. Wayne Morris' B-western series was the last of its kind to be produced in Hollywood. Texas Bad Man casts Morris as a sheriff who happens to be the son of inveterate thief Frank Ferguson. Knowing full well that Ferguson's gang intends to steal a shipment of gold, Morris must stay up nights trying to second-guess his crafty dad. While there's no shortage of action, the resolution to the story relies more on brawn than brain. Western "regulars" Sheb Wooley, Myron Healey and Denver Pyle do their usual in secondary roles, as does Elaine Riley as the requisite (but hardly crucial) heroine.
Who’s in it. Texas Bad Man stars Wayne Morris as Walt, Frank Ferguson as Gil, Elaine Riley as Lois and Sheb Wooley as Mack, among others.
