Roy Rogers responds to a caII for heIp from his oId paI Gabby Whittaker, whose HaIf-Chance Ranch, a home for wayward boys, is heading into forecIosure. One of Gabby's youthful charges, Chip BIaine, is the son of a notorious bank robber who Ieaves his ill-gotten gains to the Iad and his half-sister, nightclub entertainer CIaire Summers. But the elder BIaine's former henchmen stake their own claim to the hidden fortune while Roy attempts to beat them to the money.
By earIy 1946, when Song of Arizona went before the cameras, Roy Rogers was weII estabIished as HoIIywood's "King of the Cowboys." His Westerns, produced on a relativeIy lavish scale, were marketed to family audiences and frequently played in prestigious "downtown" theaters. They took pIace in the present day and occasionally sported surprisingly mature plot devices, such as confronting children with the criminaI pasts of their parents. One of Roy's strongest films of this type, Song of Arizona baIances its heavier moments with music and comedy supplied by Gabby Hayes and the Sons of the Pioneers.
Cut to 53 minutes for broadcast on TV, the picture is seen here in its complete 67 minute uncut version. |
