Richard Emory Movies
Richard Emory was a character actor who appeared in a few films, primarily Westerns, during the 1950s. Born Emory Johnson, the son of silent film actress Ella Hall, he made his film debut in Bandit King of Texas (1949). In addition to his film credits, Emory also appeared in a few television action series such as Death Valley Days. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide- 1949
The rubber-stamp quality of Allan "Rocky" Lane's Republic westerns continued to manifest itself in Bandit King of Texas. Lane plays an honest cowboy who has seemingly fallen in with an outlaw gang. It comes as no surprise when Lane turns out to be working undercover to bring the gang to justice. As with his earlier films, the whole story is wrapped up in a brisk 60 minutes. One of the pleasanter aspects of Allan Lane's vehicles was their depiction of the villains as fairly normal human beings: in this case, Jim Nolan is the wicked but essentially believable heavy. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
