The Old Corral (1936)

All In Fun Western


This may not be Gene Autry and Smiley Burnette's best film but it's not a bad movie. It's quite fun - really cute. What makes this film extra fun and special is the fact that Roy Rogers shows up as Buck O'Keefe  - that yodel scene really cracked me up laughing. We also have Lon Chaney Jr as Garland - Simms partner. Makes for a fun film overall.

We get a few songs, some gun firing, a few punches and a cool cast. The story is a bit strange: A woman witnesses a murder and ends up in a town that is still more like the old west rather than modern (for the time era). Of course our singing cowboy and sheriff Gene Autry is there to save the day.

7.5/10
