MY PAL TRIGGER

Cinemavixion Review

Frank McDonald's 1946 Western, 'My Pal Trigger,' offers a quintessential Roy Rogers experience, bolstered by the undeniable charisma of his legendary horse, Trigger. The narrative weaves a tale of mistaken identity and wrongful accusation, a common trope in the genre, but one that is effectively executed here. Rogers, alongside the ever-reliable George 'Gabby' Hayes, navigates a plot centered around a prized stallion, the Golden Sovereign, and its offspring, Trigger. When a tragic accident leads to Roy being blamed and imprisoned, the film builds towards his triumphant return to clear his name. The chemistry between Rogers and Trigger is, as always, the heart of the film, providing ample moments of equestrian prowess and heartwarming companionship. While the plot may tread familiar ground, the film's sincerity and the star power of its leads make it a satisfying watch for fans of classic Westerns and the enduring legacy of the King of the Cowboys.
