The Man from Texas is a 1948 American Western film starring James Craig and Lynn Bari. The film was directed by Leigh Jason, with Earl Robinson serving as the film composer. It is credited as being based on the 1938 play and novel Missouri Legend by Elizabeth Beall Ginty that was based on Jesse James. It was produced by Bryan Foy for Eagle-Lion Films.[1] The film's sets were designed by the art director Edward L. Ilou.

Plot[edit]

Tobias Simms leads two lives, as a husband and father and as the outlaw called the El Paso Kid. He is of two minds whether to be an honest self supporting father or an outlaw. He compromises by using the skills of the latter to lead a life as the former.
