      Audience Member a gen autrey vehicle for this singing cowboy B western from Columbia Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member There's less singing than most of Gene Autry’s film, and more drama. It’s a good story and the cast is great. Jo Dennison did a great job and Hugh O’Brien is good in an early role. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
