04/25/2015 good singing cowboy western. See more 01/16/2012 This was another of the better Autry westerns and gives the cast plenty to do. Autry's films usually place him in the role of not only stopping the bad guys (usually very rich men who are trying to monopolize everything and run the small business owner into an early grave) but also teaching a life lesson about working hard and standing up for what's right. See more 08/30/2009 Above average Gene Autry western, light and entertaining with some good songs and a lively cast. The story is familiar but it's nicely handled here. See more Read all reviews
