Down Mexico Way (1941)

Directed by Joseph Santley

Overview

Like 1940’s Melody Ranch, the 1941 Gene Autry vehicle Down Mexico Way was designed as a “special”, to be promoted separately from Autry’s regular B-western series as an A-picture attraction. The story gets under way when a pair of con artists, Gibson (Sidney Blackmer) and Allen (Joe Sawyer), breeze into the town of Sage City claiming to be movie producers. The two scoundrels promise to film a movie in the little burg on the condition that the townsfolk pony up the necessary production fees.
