Wyoming Mail (1950)

In 1869, the United States begins a railroad mail service to the West Coast which proves highly tempting to train robbers, in particular an organized gang with one of the mail's supposed guardians in their pay. Prizefighter Steve Davis, a former army intelligence man, is hired to track down the gang and save the Territorial Mail Service. Steve goes undercover in territorial prison, leans Morse Code from a fellow prisoner, breaks jail, infiltrates the gang...and finds time to romance dance-hall singer Mary, who proves to have hidden depths...

Curiosidades

Wyoming Mail is a 1950 American Western film directed by Reginald LeBorg and starring Stephen McNally and Alexis Smith.

Production

The railroad scenes were filmed on the Sierra Railroad in Tuolumne County, California. The action involving pursuit of the mail trains by mounted bandits was filmed from camera trucks by cinematographer Russell Metty. Director Reginald LeBorg was particularly pleased with one scene that he had inserted into the production:

I did something different when the cowboy [gang members] rode in. I had Stephen McNally stop in the midst of riding on the prairie and pick some flowers to bring to his sweetheart. A [Hollywood] cowboy never did that before, which is a nice touch. So the critics picked up on it. That’s what I do.
