Winners of the West (1940) Vintage Trailer

Vintage Trailer for Film Serial of the 1940s: "Winners of the West" Captured via VHS from title "Action Heroes of the Cliffhanger Serials" Wiki entry from May 2025: Winners of the West is a 1940 American Western film serial from Universal Pictures, directed by Ford Beebe and Ray Taylor. It stars Dick Foran and Anne Nagel in a plot about the construction of a railroad and a local ganglord, who opposes it. It was Universal's 115th serial release (the 47th with sound). The studio had used the name for an earlier silent serial, but there are no plot similarities between the two versions. Columbia's Roar of the Iron Horse is very similar to this serial, however, and the writer George H. Plympton worked on both.
