Old Los Angeles (1948)

Directed by Joseph Kane

Overview

Also known as California Outpost, Old Los Angeles stars Bill Elliot in one of his expanded-budget Republic “specials.” The film is set during the early statehood days of California, with Elliot keeping the peace and warding off plunderers and marauders. As always, Elliot is a “peaceable man”—until he beats the tar out of those who rile him. The problem with Elliot’s more expensive Republic vehicles is that action invariably took a back seat to plot, romance, costumes and decor. Within a year of Old Los Angeles, Elliot started a more austere, less prettified and far superior western series.

Length 88 minutes
