Desert Pursuit is a 1952 American Western film directed by George Blair and starring Wayne Morris, Virginia Grey and George Tobias. [1] The film is based on the story "Horse Thieves' Hosanna" by Kenneth Perkins, [2] originally published in the December 1948 issue of Blue Book. IMDb and other sources credit the screenplay to a novel called "Starlight Canyon." [3] However, Perkins never published a novel under that title. Among his papers at the Bancroft Library is a typescript story titled "Starlight Canyon" with a handwritten note identifying the title under which it was published.
