The Parson of Panamint (1941)
Directed by William C. McGann
Overview
As he looks over the dusty, deserted remains of the western “boom town” of Panamint, grizzled old prospector Chuckawalla Bill Redfield recalls the town’s glory days. Looming large in Chuckawalla’s reminiscences is the day that young and apparently mild-mannerd minister Philip Pharo rode into town. In his own gentle but forceful fashion, Pharo managed to bring the town’s lawless element into line, mollify the local bluenoses, and win the heart of likeable dance-hall girl Mary Mallory.
