Movies directed by William Witney

The Trigger Trio (1937)

55 mins     Western      

Cue are heroic cowboy riding fast as he gives chase to some men in a car, throw with that some fast paced music and you have one of the many scenes in "The Trigger Trio" which to be blunt did very little for me. And to be hon...

Roll on Texas Moon (1946)

68 mins     Western      

Here's the truth, if "Roll on Texas Moon" starred John Wayne and was made as a John Wayne movie I would probably rate it higher than I do. I say this because whilst I am a fan of John Wayne there are those who were fans of Ro...

Night Time in Nevada (1948)

67 mins     Western      

I think I may be coming to my temporary end with these old one hour westerns as I am running out of things to say about them with out sounding like a broken record. Then again the majority of these old westerns were like a br...

The Gay Ranchero (1948)

72 mins     Western      

So forget outlaws trying to rob the stagecoach as "The Gay Ranchero" sees the bad guys finding a way of robbing cargo planes instead. Of course it is a daft idea as in this case due to the way the bad guys go about things but...

The Golden Stallion (1949)

67 mins     Western      

Two things struck me as I watched "The Golden Stallion", the first of which being that this is the first Roy Rogers movie I have seen in colour. Whilst not a bad thing there was something about seeing a Roy Rogers western in ...

Down Dakota Way (1949)

67 mins     Western      

He rides, charms, stops bad guys and sings as well. Of course I am on about Roy Rogers who does all those things in "Down Dakota Way" an enjoyably but almost forgettable 1940s western due to it sticking to the Roy Rogers' for...

Sunset in the West (1950)

67 mins     Western      

"Sunset in the West" is a tick list Roy Rogers western which if you don't know what that means I am basically saying that the ingredients you would find in other Roy Rogers movies are in this one. It starts with him singing, ...

Trigger, Jr. (1950)

68 mins     Western      

Winter is coming and Roy Rogers along with his Wild West show are heading to the ranch of Colonel Harkrider (George Cleveland) who use to be partners with Roy's father, running the circus together. But the death of one of his...

Heart of the Rockies (1951)

56 mins     Western      

You should know by now the routine when it comes to Roy Rogers' westerns. On one hand we have some corruption going on with Roy finding himself the butt of accusations thanks to a crooked foreman trying to get rich with his d...

Santa Fe Passage (1955)

91 mins     Western      

On one hand "Santa Fe Passage" is a routine western with a wagon train and Indian trouble as well as a romantic subplot. It has some nice ideas which sees a scout branded a traitor when a trade for a peaceful crossing through...

Paratroop Command (1959)

71 mins     Drama, War      

Here is the good news "Paratroop Command" runs for just 71 minutes which means you are not sacrificing a lot of time to watch it if you feel the need to. But the bad news is that there is very little reason to watch it in the...

Master of the World (1961)

102 mins     Action , Adventure , Sci-Fi      

Movie Review - Master of the World (1961) Vincent Price stars as Robur, the curious Captain of a flying ship called The Albatross who is willing to kill to bring an end to war...

Arizona Raiders (1965)

88 mins     Western      

Audie Murphy western "Arizona Raiders" was released in 1965 yet everything about it feels early 1950s, from the look to the story which probably isn't a huge shock for those who know a little about westerns. Director William ...

40 Guns to Apache Pass (1967)

95 mins     Western      

"40 Guns to Apache Pass" was Audie Murphy's penultimate movie and would once again see him starring in a western and to be honest delivering another solid performance. The sad thing is by 1967 the western was dying a quick de...
