Neither can the exciting gun-duel climax, the presence of the great Errol Flynn or some directing help from Raoul Walsh save this misfire. Go to Full Review

It is about a cowboy who battles a crooked saloonkeeper who is trying to take over the town. Errol Flynn and Alexis Smith give fantastic performances. The screenplay is well written. David Butler did a great job directing this movie. I enjoyed watching this motion picture because of the romance. San Antonio is a must see.

See more 08/20/2014 San Antonio (1945) This is a great technicolor western, starring none other than Tasmanian actor Errol Flynn and beautiful Alexis Smith. It has everything you would want in a western, from a huge bar fight scene, to a gunfight inside the shadowy ruins of the Alamo. Thrown in is some good humor by S. Z. 'Cuddles' Sakall and several singing numbers. The movie begins with lawman, Charlie Bell (John Litel) crossing the Mexican boarder to warn Clay Hardin (Flynn) that he's a wanted man. Clay has found some documented evidence linking Roy Stuart (Paul Kelly) involvement in the organized cattle rustling that has destroyed his and many of his fellow ranchers. He just needs to get back into town without getting shot, despite the odds against him. He sneaks a ride on the stage coach with a performer, Jeanne Starr (Smith) who will be singing at the saloon that ironically is owned by Roy and his equally smarmy partner, Legare (Victor Francen). Naturally, Clay and Jeanne are going to hit it off pretty well, eventually. I know that it has become kind of standard cliche stuff, but it's fast-moving and all in good fun and well worth a watch.
