Nevada (1944 film)

Nevada is a 1944 Western film based on the 1928 Zane Grey novel and starring a 27-year-old Robert Mitchum, with Anne Jeffreys, Guinn "Big Boy" Williams, and Richard Martin in supporting roles.

The film was written by Norman Houston from Grey's popular novel and directed by Edward Killy.

Richard Martin also played sidekick "Chito Rafferty" in thirty other western movies, most of which starred screen cowboy Tim Holt, who had joined the service during World War II when Nevada was produced.

[2] This version is a remake of the 1927 silent film Nevada starring Gary Cooper, Thelma Todd, and William Powell.

The following year, Mitchum again played the lead in another Zane Grey movie with the same writer and director titled West of the Pecos also featuring Richard Martin as Chito Rafferty.
