Angel And The BadmanAngel and the Badman is an unusual but impressive John Wayne Classic, and its message of opposition to violence made a refreshing change in the career of its star. Wayne portrays Quirt Evans, a man that other men gossip about, recalling his days as Wyatt Earp's fight against the Clantons and fearful of his subsequent reputation as a gunfighter. Wayne is thrown from his horse outside the home of a Quaker family, in the fall. Penny (Gail Russell), the Worth's daughter, takes special interest in caring for Wayne, and influences him to lay down his guns for good.Winds Of The WastelandFormer pony express riders John Blair (John Wayne) and Larry Adams (Lane Chandler) don't buy the Brooklyn Bridge in this Republic Western, but the two greenhorns instead purchase a dilapidated stage line to a ghost town. While the unscrupulous seller, "Honest Cal" Drake, counts his loot, John and Larry learn that Crescent City is inhabited by Rocky, who claims to be mayor, postmaster and sheriff, and Dr. William Forsythe, a fellow victim of the duplicitous Drake.But despite its current condition, Crescent City has rich potential, especially if the newcomers can obtain a $25,000 government mail subsidy, the winner of which will be determined by a stagecoach race between nearby Buchanan City and Sacramento.
