    A Lot Of Heart And A Great Texas Story

    Wonderful movie and the first of 7 pairings of Tex Ritter and Johnny Mack Brown. It starts out with the theme song sung by Hapworth Snodgrass (Fuzzy Knight) with Tex and Johnny Mack saving the newspaper man Jonathan Taylor (Pat O'Malley) from a neck tie party. The unscrupulous head of the republic is the great actor William Farnum and beautiful blonde leading co-star of 1940s, Jennifer Holt plays a fine role as Taylor's daughter. Good to see the west's favorite medicine man Earl Hodges and all-time meanest villain Harry Woods. In between all the action, the Jimmy Wakely Trio provides some great musical interludes including, "The Cowboy's Lament" with Tex.
