As far a the Roy is concerned, it's my favorite Rogers film. I has a good story, good acting, some laughs from Andy Devine, some of my favorite songs from Roy and the Sons of the Pioneers, a rousing musical score ant probably the best action scenes of any William Witney-directed Roy Rogers movie. Definitely a 5 star movie!

And worthy of replacing the black and white prints that even the Westerns Channel has been playing. This is the first time the color print has ever been made available or seen in decades.

It is also one of my favorite Roger's films. Now, if some one could find a couple more of the 'lost Trucolor Rogers' it would make 2009 a banner year. Two I would really like to see are Grand Canyon Trail and The Far Frontier. I've had them uncut in b&w for years, but seeing them in color would be a wonderful treat.
