      Audience Member Average Gene Autry western. There are a few good tunes, The Stafford Sisters are great. Good pacing, short and sweet. Very light and entertaining. There is a little less action in this one than most of his movies. Good doses of comedy thrown in. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member 56/100. Average Gene Autry western.
