A trio of western outlaws -- Jim (William Holden), Lorn (Macdonald Carey) and "Wahoo" (William Bendix) -- have a life-altering experience when they rescue an orphan named Rannie (Mona Freeman). Later on, Jim and Wahoo opt to change their ways, joining the Texas Rangers, but Lorn continues down the outlaw path. Rannie, meanwhile, has developed into a beautiful young woman. Jim promptly falls in love, but Rannie is head-over-heels for the rebellious Lorn.

It offers a reasonable amount of outdoor scenery, a short measure of shooting and riding and much too much brooding over whether Ranger Holden should betray his old pal Carey.

The plot is as familiar as your own hand and there is little new in the action. But somehow the whole thing turns out to be exciting. Maybe it's because of the capable cast.

The story is a grossly hackneyed thing and the dialogue is of an order which no self-respecting horse would deign to speak.

[Streets of Laredo] probably seems duller than others which achieve no more because it is such an everlastingly talky affair, the talk being couched in some of the most painful colloquial terms in months, ah reckon.

3/5

There is a fine star-making performance from a deceptively casual William Holden, whose burgeoning screen presence demands attention, especially when dull co-star Macdonald Carey is on screen.

2.5/5

The finished film suffers from some confusing cutting, but the performances of the leads and the nice color photography make it worthwhile entertainment.
