The Rough, Tough West
The Rough, Tough West is a 1952 American Western film directed by Ray Nazarro and starring Charles Starrett, Jock Mahoney and Carolina Cotton. It was released in 1952, during the last year of the Durango Kid series of films.[1] At this late date the series relied on cost-cutting measures to stay within a low budget, so this film contains footage from older Starrett westerns.
