Kit Carson is a 1940 Western film directed by George B. Seitz and starring Jon Hall as Kit Carson, Lynn Bari as Delores Murphy, and Dana Andrews as Captain John C. Frémont .

The supporting cast features Ward Bond as a character named "Ape", future Lone Ranger Clayton Moore without his mask, and Raymond Hatton as Jim Bridger.

They manage to escape unscathed and make their way to Fort Bridger, where Captain John Fremont hires Carson to guide a wagon train westward to California south along the Oregon Trail.

Both Carson and Fremont fall in love with pretty Dolores Murphy, on her way to her father's hacienda in Monterey.

Filmink felt that Hall was not comfortable in the lead role but the film was "saved by its production values and support cast".
