Desert Pursuit

Wayne Morris appeared in many fine, lesser known films before and after his stellar career as a decorated WWII fighter ace. This film, though poorly budgeted, was a unique and fun twist on the standard western programmer of the era.

Morris portrays a rambler with a cache of gold, being pursued by a trio of Arabs interested in his tempting treasure. The prolific character actors George Tobias and John Doucette are great as the star's greedy enemies.

The unusual plot, fine scenery and charisma of the under-appreciated Wayne Morris make this a western well worth watching. As he demonstrated in Paths of Glory, Morris was the rare cowboy star who had some real acting chops....... Enjoy !!
