Audience Reviews for The Big Show

Jun 18, 2019

Gene Autry in a dual role, one as a snobby Western cowboy actor, and the other as that actor's "regular guy" stuntman. Can the stuntman step from the shadows and become his own man? Or, as the film might more better be known as: Gene Autry rides a horse. Boring, unless you're a film history buff and simply like watching the old-timey stuff.
