ROLL ON TEXAS MOON

Cinemavixion Review

William Witney's 'Roll on Texas Moon' delivers a classic Western narrative, anchored by the enduring charisma of Roy Rogers and his faithful steed, Trigger. Set against the rugged backdrop of the West, the film plunges into a deceptive range war orchestrated to seize the Delaney ranch. The plot, as described, centers on the machinations of Cole's henchman, Anders, whose attempts to sow discord between cattlemen and sheepmen escalate tragically with the murder of Delaney. The ensuing attempts on the life of his daughter, Jill, and the investigating Roy himself, provide the narrative thrust, ultimately leading Roy to the crucial information needed to unravel the conspiracy. George 'Gabby' Hayes adds his signature warmth and wisdom to the proceedings. While the external data indicates a Drama, Music, and Western genre blend, the core of the film remains a taut, engaging tale of frontier justice and the triumph of truth over treachery, a hallmark of the era's beloved Westerns.
