      Audience Member roy rogers plays a singing version of the famous outlaw Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member 141227: Having watched quite a few of these old Roy Rogers films in the last year, this one surprised me quite a bit at the beginning. Everything is explained in good time but I found myself torn a bit about the ending. Not sure if framing villains is the way to get rid of them; even if the Villains lie when they are nabbed. On another note, watching Billy the Kid Returns inspired me to research Roy Rogers a bit. In all these films I've watched he just seems like such a great guy. Love his demeanor, the music and the humorous characters. The late 30s, early 40s films seem so much fun. And I must admit, Rogers was a handsome and obviously talented guy. These films are all class, and though this one suffers from extremely dumb villains, it's included in that global rating. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Typical Roy Rogers western, but that's not a bad thing. Short, entertaining, some good songs, enough action to keep the film moving. Good support. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
