Audience Member good singing cowboy western Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member This is not a Western. It's a Hollywood musical. It's a chick flick too. It was made when Western Swing music was popular. But even the music in the movie is weak. And why are they riding horses and using horses and wagons when they have cars and trucks? And in 1944 there was a war going on. Weren't they rationing gas back then? Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member awesome muscial western in the roy rogers/dale evans tradition though i just realized the title "borrows" from the gene autry movie in old santa fe. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a Roy Rogers film, the version I saw was from the Mill Creek Roy Rogers Collection of 20 RR Movies. So it was only 60 minutes long, I am told that Alpha Video has one that is 90 Minutes long. Roy was a pretty skinny fella in this movie, but him and trigger saved the day as they do in all there movies and he got the pretty girl, of course Dale Evans. Roy saves a Rodeo Company in this one from going under and being taken over by the bad guys. Lots of singing. This would never make it in today?s world, but its still a good film. Cars, trucks, and horses in this one. 3 stars that?s it. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Roy Rogers films are so likeable and easy going it is hard not to like them. This is a "B" musical western, fair songs, well worn plot idea but its still entertaining and fun. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
