UNDER CALIFORNIA STARS

Cinemavixion Review

In 'Under California Stars,' Roy Rogers, a figure synonymous with the golden age of Westerns, returns to his roots as both a rancher and a cinematic icon. The film posits an intriguing premise: a beloved rancher and movie star finds his cherished horse, Trigger, the very symbol of his Western persona, has been taken. The narrative pivots on the kidnapping of Trigger and the subsequent ransom, setting the stage for a classic Western drama intertwined with the allure of Hollywood stardom. Directed by William Witney, the 1948 production features a supporting cast including Jane Frazee and Andy Devine, promising a blend of action, loyalty, and perhaps a touch of humor characteristic of the era's beloved oaters.
