'The Light of Western Stars' is a 1940 American Western film directed by Lesley Selander, starring Victor Jory as Gene Stewart, and based upon a novel by Zane Grey. The film is also known as 'Border Renegade' (American alternative title). The supporting cast features Jo Ann Sayers, Russell Hayden, Morris Ankrum, Noah Beery Jr. as Jory's character's Mexican sidekick, Tom Tyler and Alan Ladd (two years out from superstardom in a supporting role as a ranch hand named "Danny"; his part in this film is much larger than his billing would indicate).

That same year, another Zane Grey novel titled 'Knights of the Range' was produced at the same studio with the same screenwriter, director, and much the same cast, albeit without Beery or Ladd.
