Movies starring Douglas Kennedy

Fighting Man of the Plains (1949)

94 mins     Western      

"Fighting Man of the Plains" has one of the best openings I have ever come across from a western made before 1950. We have an abrupt murder scene as Dancer first tries to intervene when Evelyn is being harassed by a member of...

The Cariboo Trail (1950)
