Did you know
• Gunfighters of Abilene was produced a little late in the B Western game, as most film efforts of this type had been supplanted by episodic TV westerns. However, the film offers up a reasonable example of the B genre and its signature elements, and includes workmanlike performances by two old hands in the business; Buster Crabbe and Barton MacLane. For those who enjoy knowing where a picture was filmed, they will appreciate excellent views of the upper Iverson Ranch in Chatsworth, California, that would soon be changed forever by the developer's blade. The upper Iverson as seen in this film now contains garish McMansions within a gated community north of SR 118. And the SR118 Simi Valley Freeway has been bulldozed through the middle of the ranch, destroying its western ambiance and irreversibly changing it forever.
• Final film of Rachel Ames.
• Final film of Eugenia Paul.
