Born to the West (re-released by Favorite Films in 1950 as Hell Town) is a 1937 American Western film, starring John Wayne, Marsha Hunt and John Mack Brown. Filmed in black and white and based upon a Zane Grey novel, the movie incorporates footage from an earlier and higher budgeted silent version, a common practice of the era. The picture features: fast chases, gun-fights, unusual poker gambling and peppy light dialogue for the love interest.
