The Kid from Texas (1939 film)

The Kid from Texas is a 1939 American Western film directed by George Sherman and starring Dennis Moore, Fay McKenzie, and Horace Murphy. The film tells the story of Billy the Kid, depicted here as a young man wrongly accused of murder and forced to flee. He rides the range, seeking to clear his name while encountering various adventures and engaging in gunfights. This portrayal of Billy the Kid leans toward a more sympathetic and romanticized version of the historical figure, a common trend in early Western films. The film is a low-budget "B-movie," characteristic of the Western genre output of the period.
