I don't know that Gene Autry ever made a strickly western western, mostly they are musical entertainments with a western background. Saw this movie recently on Encore Westerns and enjoyed every musical moment.
Between Gene and his sidekick Smiley the humor and music are up to par, and with Mary Lee things as usual are very good. She was one sensational gal who could take even a clunker of a song and make it sound good, and she is served up a couple of lesser songs in this movie. The tap dancing of Carol Adams is something different to an Autry venue and it is also very good.
The combination of plot and riverboat minstrel show are a sure bet to entertain for the 75 minute movie. The bad guys are bank robbers and though they do murder a couple people, the violence is almost non existent and typical to a late 30's-early 40's movie, the bad guys are fairly 2nd rate mobsters. Pretty good shoot out near the end of the movie, too.
Great viewing for us Autry fans. Others may not be so keen for the movie but it remains a very entertaining movie never-the-less.
