I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

Buster Crabbe plays the role of Billy The Kid in this western from the PRC studios located on Poverty Row. This film is in the tradition of those B studios take the name of a character from the old west and just using the name to build a wholly fictional story. Here Crabbe gets his share of gunplay, but uses his head more in this one to get a group of outlaws who want to move in on another outlaw who's been exploiting the ranchers and homesteaders. Get them fighting and the good people who want to make the west a civilized place might just take over. Edmond O'Brien describes that process so well in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance.Billy has two sidekicks, Al St. John and Dave O'Brien. In fact St. John is fed up with the vagabond life of the outlaw and goes out to the territory following an advertisement circular. He sees what's going on and sends for his erstwhile pals.A bit more plot than usual makes Billy The Kid Wanted a cut above the usual poverty row oater.

Buster Crabbe takes the reigns from Bob Steele and puts his own spin on the title character in Billy The Kid Wanted, the seventh entry in P.R.C.'s Billy The Kid series.Once again we're treated to a fast paced, action filled shoot-em-up adventure with with a plot as well worn as an old boot, this time featuring eternal heavy and future Frankenstein monster Glenn Strange (who's always great) as yet another homicidal land swindler out to cheat and bully a group of innocent homesteaders.As Billy The Kid, Buster Crabbe is likable and certainly more charismatic and better looking than his predecessor, but he lacks the macho posturing that made Bob Steele's portrayal so unique. He's still a great hero, though.Like most of the poverty row westerns it's not very memorable but it's fun while it lasts.
