Apache Trail

From MGM's B picture unit comes Apache Trail and the old saying in Hollywood is certainly true here such craftsmanship went into their B pictures at MGM that they would be top of the line at other studios. The story that Apache Trail was adapted from is by Ernest Haycox who wrote Stagecoach.

This is another stagecoach story with a group of men and women rapped in a stagecoach station with attacking Apaches. Among those trapped inside is Lloyd Nolan and it's him the Apaches want. His brother William Lundigan is the stationmaster. Will blood prove thicker than water?

Some of the plot elements and characters from Stagecoach you will immediately recognize. Apache Trail is not a classic like Stagecoach, but it's a competent and sturdy B western from that Tiffany of studios MGM.
