05/17/2014 Roy Rogers sings and acts the hero of the West. i like his style, voice, and athleticism. Bob Steele is a tough and ruthless bad guy with piercing dark eyes. Well done. See more 05/03/2014 141112: It's funny how many times Gabby Hayes upstages Roy Rogers in my opinion. Don't get me wrong, I like Rogers but Hayes is one memorable character. The story is a bit weak, and I found it slow to start, but once going it's all good. Neat to see a young Noah Beery Jr. playing a more prominent character.
