Cisco Kid Western Triple Feature, Vol. 1

MOVIE DESCRIPTION:

Three Cisco Kid features from 1946 in one collection! THE GAY CAVALIER: This Monogram production represented Gilbert Roland's first outing as the Cisco Kid. In this polished adventure Cisco has his hands full between solving a stagecoach robbery and rescuing a woman from marrying a man who is not what he seems to be. BEAUTY AND THE BANDIT: Cisco and Pancho come to the rescue of a beautiful young senorita that is in immediate danger of losing her ranch to a low-down varmint. SOUTH OF MONTEREY: Trying to stop a land swindling scheme proves to be a little tricky for Cisco Kid and his side kick Pancho when the men behind it turn out to be a police captain and a tax collector.

REVIEW:

• Positively oozing Latin charm, Gilbert Roland is light years away from O. Henry's original "Cisco Kid," who, after all, was a mere Yankee. Roland was perhaps not the best of Hollywood's many Ciscos, but he certainly wasn't the worst and his six vehicles for Monogram remain pleasant if unspectacular examples of the B-Western genre. South of Monterey is arguably the best of the lot. ~ Hans J. Wollstein, Rovi
