Audience Member The best movie song ever sung: Back in the Saddle Again! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member This was allright, had some good moments in it and again has Gene playing the mentor role to a spolied "city" kid who has inherited the ranch. Note to future Ranch owners: STOP sending yor kids back east to goto school. They get odd notions about living in high rises and don't want to wrangle cattle. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member As a western it's quite average, but Gene Autry sings some great classic songs in this one. Great pacing and entertaining. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Gene Autry western with title tune that became his signature song. This one's a classic but I just couldn't get into it - not much of a plot, forgettable songs, and extremely hokey ending. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
