Kit Carson 1940 Jon Hall, Lynn Bari & Dana Andrews

Posted on by womo



Kit Carson is a 1940 Western film directed by George B. Seitz and starring Jon Hall as Kit Carson, Lynn Bari as Delores Murphy, and Dana Andrews as Captain John C. Frémont . This picture was filmed on location at Cayente (Kayenta), Arizona and was one of the early films to use Monument Valley as a backdrop. The supporting cast features Ward Bond as a character named “Ape”, future Lone Ranger Clayton Moore without his mask, and Raymond Hatton as Jim Bridger.

Plot
Kit Carson and his two saddle pals, Ape and Lopez are attacked by Indians. They manage to escape unscathed and make their way to Fort Bridger, where Captain John Fremont hires Carson to guide a wagon train westward to California south along the Oregon Trail. Both Carson and Fremont fall in love with pretty Dolores Murphy, on her way to her father’s hacienda in Monterey. Meanwhile, General Castro, the Mexican Governor General of California, arms the Shoshoni Indians in an effort to keep the Americans out of California.

  4. Thanks again for bringing us a high quality print, sharp and clear, of a really good movie in b/w, which I actually prefer. Lots of action and an interesting and entertaining film. You seem to always have the best copies of these great American Hollywood classics. 🎦

  10. Thank you for posting the movie. I love watching your channel!

    At 1:27, the words “Primeval fastness…” scroll by. One imagines this might have been intended to read “primeval vastness.” I enjoy such “quirks and features.”

    Thanks again!

  12. There are plenty of good to excellent movies made with American historical events as a background. This is not one of them. 96 of the slowest minutes of my life were passed watching this one.

  17. A great number of people died in the past for California only to give that state on the socialist-liberal democrat platter to Obama, Biden, Pelosi, Feinstein, Maxine Waters, Gavin Newsom and to many others just like them to ruin and destroy it.
