SING, COWBOY, SING

Cinemavixion Review

Robert N. Bradbury's "Sing, Cowboy, Sing" (1937) offers a spirited journey into the heart of the Old West, anchored by the charismatic performance of Tex Ritter. In this rip-roaring saga, Ritter, alongside his trusty pal Duke (portrayed by silent film veteran Al St. John), finds himself entangled in a fierce battle against a ruthless gang intent on seizing control of the territory's vital freight hauling business. The film is further enriched by a supporting cast that includes the notable comedic timing of Snub Pollard and the villainous prowess of Karl Hackett, a familiar face in Poverty Row productions. Audiences will also be treated to memorable musical numbers, including Ritter's renditions of "I’m a Natural Born Cowboy" and "Goodbye Old Paint, I’m Leavin’ Cheyenne." While perhaps not a landmark cinematic achievement, "Sing, Cowboy, Sing" delivers a satisfying Western experience, blending action, song, and a classic tale of good versus evil that will appeal to fans of the genre.
