I may have seen that movie. Was 9 years old in 1939,living in Iowa.Usually went to Sat.matinees at the local theater.Cost a dime in those days. Always had western movies,Gene Autry, Hop Along Cassidy w/Bill Boyd and Georege "Gabby" Hayes,etc.Remember sceens on the old SP narrow guage. I drive US 395 occasionally on my way to Ely NV,visit the Nevada Northern RY. Over the mountais out of Bishop on US 6. Stopped in Lone Pine at the museum once,bought their booklet on all the movies made up there.Recall a 1941 movie "High Sierra" with Humphrey Bogart.Played a gangster.Cops chased him up Whitney Portal Rd.out of downtown Lone Pine. Had him trapped up there.
