The Man from Texas (1948)

Tobias Simms (James Craig) is torn between his criminal career as the masked bandit named the "El Paso Kid", and the life of a law-abiding citizen with his long-suffering wife Zoe (Lynn Bari). Throughout the film, he tells his worried wife "just one more time", but is unable to stop, angering Zoe greatly. However, he does have brief moments of heroics when he helps the Widow Weeks (Una Merkel) save her farm. This was Eagle-Lion Studios first big budget film.
