Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.

Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

JohnHowardReid The title doesn't tell us anything, but this is actually a Roy Roger's double entry with our hero playing both himself and his bad man double. You can't tell the difference, of course, as they look alike and speak alike. I can't help feeling that a great opportunity was lost here, as the double – although referred to earlier – only makes his appearance at the climax (and even then is under-used!) What we have here on The Great American Western DVD is the 53-minutes TV cutdown which seems to be minus at least one of the five songs as well as a bit of background which would help make the boring plot a bit easier to follow. Nevertheless, Rogers is in his usual easygoing form (perhaps a bit too easygoing!) and so, alas, in usual form, is garrulous Gabby Hayes who seems determined to steal the movie from Rogers – and succeeds in that not so admirable endeavor (at least in the TV version which is often all Gabby and little Roy). The movie was directed by Joe Kane in a style that can only be described as a "nothing". And I don't remember any sunsets – or much in the way of desert either! TV cutdown available on a Platinum "Great American Western" disc.

MartinHafer A county has a typical baddie. In this case, homes are being sold out from under folks and the Sheriff is impotent to help. So, when Roy and Gabby come to town, it's their job to right the wrongs and make all the good people happy.This is a decent Roy Rogers film but like many you do have to turn off your brain in order to really enjoy it. Part of it is that weird sort of B-western mixture of the old and new---with folks riding horses AND cars! I can't blame Rogers entirely--Gene Autry films also were filled with odd anachronisms--such as folks calling the sheriff on the phone or chasing down horses with their pickup truck! Another part, and this is clearly the worst, is the use of the WAY over-used cliché of the 'identical stranger'. Now if Roy had a twin brother, that might have worked--but here we are expected that an evil killer looks exactly like good 'ol Roy! This is patently ridiculous, that's for sure. Dumb but enjoyable...and not too many songs!

FightingWesterner A villainous lawyer, along with crooked deputy Glenn Strange, blackmails a judge in order to effect a fake tax scheme in order to steal oil rich ranches. In rides Gabby Hayes and Roy Rogers, who's immediately mistaken for one of the baddies, a situation he uses to get to the bottom of things.Another watchable Roy Rogers vehicle, this has a few nice twists, as well as enough action and pretty girls to keep this interesting throughout.Roy and Gabby are in fine form, having to battle the good guys and the bad guys this time around, leading to a nifty climax with Roy facing off against his double.This marks the third time Roy played dual roles, the first two being 1938's Billy The Kid Returns and the second being 1941's Jesse James At Bay.

alan-pratt Two Roys for the price of one here! There's "good" Roy - the singing cowboy we all love and admire - and "bad" Roy - or,rather, bad Bill - easy to spot because he's the one with a black eye! Roy, of course, spends most of the film pretending to be Bill in order to bring the real crooks to justice.Sadly, the version of this movie that I watched is the shortened one - I suspect I may have lost one of the musical numbers - but there's still plenty to recommend. As well as Gabby and the Sons of the Pioneers, look out for Roy Barcroft. Although cast as a minor villain, he dominates the screen each time he appears. A really class act!
