Just noticed that someone was led to this blog by the search term “which western had cowboys with bells on spurs.” If you didn’t figure it out, it’s South Of St. Louis (1949), starring Joel McCrea, Alexis Smith, Zachary Scott and Dorothy Malone.
The climactic scene, with the three brothers’ spurs jingling as they blast away, is one of the most satisfying wrap-ups I can think of. I sure wish Warner Archive would get around to this one!
Great picture with the bells on the spurs!
I like SOUTH OF ST LOUIS. Good cast and story.
South of St. Louis is in the Republic library and owned by Paramount. It’s on the list of films licensed to Olive Films and I’m hopeful that it may be released sometime this year on DVD and Blue Ray.

That’s right, it was a United States Pictures Production and WB only distributed it. OK, Olive, get with it!
Not be confused with spurs that jingle-jangle-jingle
Those bells and that heart-stopping ending live long in the memory.
Basic plot lifted from the 1930′s Jimmy Cagney Gangster Movie “The Roaring 20′s” – works well as a Western
I wonder how many people have searched with those words before.
