Yvonne Jodi Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

bkoganbing Take Me Back To Oklahoma finds Tex Ritter and trusty companion Slim Andrews on the way to help Terry Walker and Carleton Young to save their stagecoach line. Ritter and Andrews are just in time to save the last working coach, but there's still a lot of damage.They know it's perennial western villain Karl Hackett who is trying to takeover the franchise and a race between one of his vehicles and that last vehicle that Tex saved. The last few minutes of that race where Tex Ritter overcomes all obstacles is good.Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys are featured here and have some numbers with and without Ritter. A little too much music, but they were a premier act on the country music circuit at the time and I'm betting Monogram Picture had to guarantee a lot of screen time devoted to them.Their fans and Tex Ritter fans should be pleased.

398 "Take Me Back to Oklahoma" has all the makings of a below average "B" oater. The plot is the old wheeze about the villain trying to run the heroine out of her stagecoach business so he can grab the franchise for himself. The script is thin with only one minor character, an ex-con who throws in with the hero, rising above the all-good or all-bad stereotypes. The acting by the supporting cast is mediocre, with the heroine vapid, and the bad guys a faceless bunch, having none of the evil charisma a Harry Woods or a Roy Barcroft or a Charles King brought to such roles. So the movie sucks and don't watch it? Not at all. "Take Me Back to Oklahoma" is more entertaining than about 90% of the flicks out there. It was filmed outdoors for the most part and the camera catches several lovely vistas. Sidekick Slim Andrews, with deadpan help from star Tex Ritter, has some amusing moments. A wild stagecoach chase at the beginning and an exciting stagecoach race at the climax are superbly handled. Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys are on hand to join with Ritter and the resulting music is wonderful. I think there were seven numbers and all are good with "You Are My Sunshine" and "Take Me Back to Tulsa" classics which bridge the years. I have listened to CD's of Bob Wills with pleasure and it is a treat to see him perform in his prime. This movie is a must for fans of old-timey western swing like myself.All in all, great music and strong action make this a fun "B" western.

bill-688 The scene with Bob Wills and his band riding on top of a stage coach strumming a tune is priceless. Tex Ritter is in fine form saving the little lady's property and snaring the bad guys. Ritter, who has a trusty side kick to add a little slapstick to the plot, sings and so does Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys. To any Wills fan this is an excellent opportunity to see how the band looked in a performance. Wills' dancing is not unlike some modern performers. Good entertainment and a great reminder of how Westerns once were in the U.S. This is the kind of movie I spent countless Saturday afternoons seeing and sometimes staying over to see again. Without the music this is about average; with the music it is priceless.

pmcenea This B Western has it all - a really shaky frame-up, a posse chase aborted for no apparent reason, a stagecoach race featuring not one, but two coach top fights and a disintegrating wheel on the winning coach. It also has the music of Tex Ritter and of Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys. That and some funny bits here and there earned this movie a 4.
