The Three Mesquiteers Western Movies to Watch Free.
The Three Mesquiteers is the umbrella title for a Republic Pictures series of 51 Western B-movies released between 1936 and 1943, including 8 films starring John Wayne. The name was a play on mesquite and The Three Musketeers, and each film featured a trio of stars. The series was based on a series of western novels by William Colt MacDonald, which began with The Law of 45’s in 1933.
A film version of The Law of 45’s was made by a different film company in 1935 and introduced the characters Tucson Smith and Stony Brooke. The series blended the traditional Western period with more modern elements, which was not unknown with other B-Western films and serials. Towards the end of the series, during World War II, the trio of cowboys were opposing Nazis.
The cast list varied but always focused on a trio of cowboys.
