Blazing Sixes is a 1937 American Western film directed by Noel M. Smith and written by John T. Neville. The film stars Dick Foran, Joan Valerie, Mira McKinney, John Merton, Glenn Strange and Kenneth Harlan. It was the 9th of 12 B-westerns Foran starred in for the studio, and is noteworthy for giving perennial villain Strange a rare good-guy role as the simple-minded cowhand Pee Wee. The film was released by Warner Bros. on June 12, 1937.[1][2][3]
