Text of the page (random words):
in trucolor a two color film process the first was apache rose released earlier in 1947 it was also the fifth film he made with director william witney who i ve been a big fan of since high school witney directed my favorite republic serials often with john english such as adventures of captain marvel 1941 jungle girl 1941 and spy smasher 1942 witney had a sure hand with pulpy material and never made a picture that was less than entertaining the stunt work in his films was always a high point his action scenes especially the fights were incredibly well staged and still hold up pretty well there are currently a few ways to see bells of san angelo online it s available on youtube at internet archive and on netflix instant watch the version on netflix is the version that was edited for tv it s in black and white not color and shaves more than 20 minutes off the running time among the scenes that are lost is a really good fistfight between roy and one of the bad guys so if you want to see this movie i recommend downloading the version from internet archive or watching it on youtube you can click the links above to go directly to this movie in bells of san angelo roy plays as usual a character named roy rogers in this one roy is a border investigator there are nefarious goings on down at the old monarch mines which are run by a man named rex gridley john mcguire a handsome dark haired gentleman with a pet bird named cinderella in the first of many exciting action scenes gridley s right hand man ulrich david sharpe shoots a man fleeing by stagecoach then plants some silver ore in his pocket ulrich s official story is that he was shooting down a thief but roy smells something rotten roy s comical sidekick in bells of san angelo is a big fat guy named cookie bullfincher andy devine who s san angelo s mayor sheriff and official dog catcher but the soft hearted cookie is really more of a dog keeper cookie may have a passel of titles but roy is the real authority and his reach extends down into mexico when roy learns that western pulp writer lee madison is coming to town and will be observing him work he exclaims i don t mind chasin thieves and murderers but this is too much madison is the author of numerous western potboilers including one called murder on the border and roy thinks madison will just twist reality to suit the tastes of a bloodthirsty readership it should come as absolutely no surprise to anyone when it s revealed that madison is actually a woman or that she will hide her identity from roy as long as she can creating all manner of humorous misunderstandings madison is played by dale evans roy s real life wife and they re really cute together they always seem to be having fun in their scenes which softens things when he s being a chauvinist and threatening to spank her or calling her the nosiest girl i ve ever met director witney is more concerned with packing the film full of entertainment than with narrative coherence but who cares there are songs aplenty subplots galore and lots of action some of it pretty rough for a saturday matinée picture aimed at kids bells of san angelo was filmed in valley of fire state park in nevada and the scenery is spectacular of course it looks nothing like san angelo texas which by the way is in the heart of texas not anywhere near the mexican border but whatever if you like roy rogers dale evans and trigger you ll love this movie 1 comment posted in 1947 april 1947 and tagged andy devine bells of san angelo bob nolan charles maxwell charles sullivan

the permalink out california way dec 5 1946 posted on december 27 2010 by adam lounsbery in the grand tradition of singing cowboys monte hale plays a character in out california way named monte hale out california way is filmed in trucolor a two color film process owned by republic pictures and throws hale into a metafictional world that pulls back the curtain and allows boys and girls at the saturday matinée to see what might be going on behind the scenes at republic with all of their favorite cowboy stars hale doesn t sit quite as tall in the saddle as republic s big boys gene autry and roy rogers but he s self effacing and charming enough to be believable when he says he s just a plain cowboy trying to break in to the movies he s assisted by little danny mccoy bobby blake famous for playing little beaver in the red ryder series who s trying to get his horse pardner into the movies opposing them is the prima donna rod mason john dehner who s a big radio star as the robin hood of the range and has a career in pictures too little danny mccoy is president of the rod mason fan club but that changes pretty fast after he actually meets the guy not only is mason temperamental and nasty to his co stars but he hates children and animals after threatening to whip pardner if danny doesn t get him off the set it s clear that danny has room in his heart for another cowboy actor for that matter so does his young pretty mother gloria played by lorna gray who s just 16 years older than blake hale s an expert horse trainer and together he and pardner form a great team originally cast as stunt actors on one of rod mason s pictures they do such a good job that every rewrite comes back with a bigger role for hale and a smaller part for mason mason and his sidekick stunt rider ace hanlon fred graham are typical black hats so they stop at nothing to foil hale and pardner s success while performing a stunt ace throws short fuse dynamite at hale that doesn t kill him but totally blows pardner s nerves hale takes time off to retrain pardner and help him over his trauma but mason and ace immediately undo his hard work by sneaking into the corral at night and freaking out pardner all over again by repeatedly firing a revolver near his head on his journey from plain cowboy to movie star hale is joined by special guest stars allan lane don red barry dale evans roy rogers and horse trigger all members of republic pictures stable of western stars and all playing themselves in the sequence in which hale gives gloria a tour of the studios roy and dale perform a nice rendition of ridin down the sunset trail for them not bad for a first date john dehner who would later be a recurring actor on gunsmoke both the radio and tv versions was a fine actor and makes for a great villain in this picture while out california way isn t substantively different from any of the hundreds of other oaters put out by republic pictures it was fun to see a slightly different plot than the dependable old evil land baron makes a grab for smaller ranchers land 1 comment posted in 1946 december 1946 and tagged adrian booth allan lane barry shipman betty burbridge bobby blake

don t fence me in oct 20 1945 posted on november 23 2009 by adam lounsbery don t fence me in is a particularly good roy rogers picture directed by john english who with william witney directed some of the best republic serials of the late 30s and early 40s it s a well paced exciting and thoroughly enjoyable b western the film opens with a western montage accompanied by the cole porter song from which the film gets its title after the credits roll we re treated to a cheap looking boot hill set with a matte painting background that looks as if it s about two feet away a narrator tells us that once upon a time as a matter of fact nearly forty years ago there was a notorious western outlaw named wildcat kelly he didn t want to be fenced in either but they stuffed him into a pine box and buried him six feet under the sod on boot hill a masked man rises from behind kelly s tombstone carrying a gun and a wells fargo case the narrator sounding surprised says wait a minute that looks like wildcat kelly it is wildcat kelly there s something mighty strange about this i think we d better investigate the story of mr wildcat kelly and investigate we shall but the job will fall on the pretty shoulders of a girl reporter named toni ames dale evans toni has enough moxie to make an 800 pound gorilla stop dead in his tracks when we first meet her she s performing the song a kiss goodnight while dancing on the table at a hot party in a big city displaying her shapely gams to maximum effect she s doing it all for a story though a reporter for a tabloid called spread magazine toni is undercover secretly snapping shots of the party s guest of honor a dirty old cad named cartwright andrew tombes who s running for mayor as an incumbent the plot eventually takes toni out west to the r barr dude ranch to investigate the legend of wildcat kelly who it turns out faked his own death nearly 40 years ago and has been living as a regular western joe named gabby whittaker he s played by george gabby hayes and it s a good part for him in a lot of these pictures hayes was able to just coast on his ornery persona but don t fence me in actually gives him something to do rogers plays that charming and laconic singing cowpoke character called roy rogers that he played in dozens of movies roy is gabby s friend and the only person who knows his secret he tries to convince toni not to publish what she knows about wildcat kelly but she goes ahead with her story and that s when things get interesting there are a group of gangsters whose motives are shadowy but who clearly want kelly dead once it s revealed he is still alive one of them is played by the great character actor marc lawrence who had a very long career as a sinister looking hood this is a fine showcase for all of the regulars from the 40s roy rogers pictures bob nolan and the sons of the pioneers back rogers up both musically and when it s time for fisticuffs and the wonder horse trigger does a high stepping dance with rogers astride him to an instrumental version of don t fence me in and even takes a bow when he s finished roy and dale s relationship is more antagonistic than in many of their other pictures but it s still fun to watch when she first shows up and tries to stow away in the boot of a coach roy tosses a hunk of stinky limburger cheese in the back with her and takes her on a bumpy ride she later pays him back by pushing him into a swimming pool don t fence me in ends with a delightful rendition of the title song performed by roy dale and the sons of the pioneers with a few lines added at the beginning about wildcat kelly to tie the whole thing together leave a comment posted in 1945 october 1945 and tagged andrew tombes bob nolan charles craft cole porter dale evans don t fence me
