"CRASHING THUE" was Wilson's initial film, and it was well
written and produced.   The picture also featured a 
strong suppering cast.   This was a very nice
start for a newcomer's western series.
 
 
The running time was 58 minutes and it hit the silver screen
on January 9th. 1948.
 
Whip Wilson, was Monogram's answer to Lash LaRue.

Whip Wilson was not a major western star.   It may be
suprising to some to learn that this whip-cracking
cowboy made more movies than
"The King of the Bullwhip".
 
Whip, made 22, starring films from 1948 until 1952.
Wilson's last film
was 
"WYOMING ROUNDUP".
