Movie Info

Arrogant film star Tom Ford (Gene Autry) goes AWOL before a high-profile personal appearance at the Texas Centennial Exposition in Dallas. In a panic, publicist Lee Wilson (William Newell) instructs Ford's screen double, kindhearted cowboy Gene Autry (also Autry), to go on in Ford's place. Gangster Rico (Harry Worth), to whom Ford owes $10,000, and Ford's fiancée, Toodles (Sally Payne), complicate the deception, as does Gene's budding romance with lady rancher Marion (Kay Hughes).

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.
