a5c7b9f00b Roy Rogers tries to prevent a range war between cattlemen and sheepherders. Roy Rogers (<a href=">Roy Rogers)comes to Merino Springs to prevent a range war between cattlemen and sheepmen, that starteda result of the killing of a sheep-man, Matthew Delaney (<a href=">John Ince) on &quot;Whirligig Cattle Syndicate&quot; property. He was killed by Steve Anders (<a href=">Francis McDonald, a henchman of Cole Gregory (<a href=">Dennis Hoey), who is out to acquire the Delaney ranch. Roy&#39;s pleas for the murdered man&#39;s daughter, Jill Delaney (<a href=">Dale Evans) to help prevent further bloodshed are dashed when her prized ram is also killed. It does not help matters that her lawyer is the scheming Gregory. Roll On Texas Moon is a decent entry in the Roy Rogers film catalog. The film finds him trying to stop a feud between the cattlemen and the sheepmen from tearing apart the neighborhood just like the differences used to do in the Old West days.<br/><br/>Roy&#39;s dad back in the day was big on getting rid of sheepmen by fair or foul means, but Roy has a live and let live attitude. So does Dale Evans who&#39;s aunt is Elizabeth Risdon, owner of a Sheep Ranch with the Old West name of Cactus Kate. She&#39;s more than a match for that grizzled old cattleman Gabby Hayes.<br/><br/>What I liked most about Roll On Texas Moon was the reteaming of the antagonists Hayes and Risdon from the John Wayne classic Tall In The Saddle. That one is one of my favorite Wayne films and there is a running rivalry between Hayes and Risdon. Hayes is his usual grizzled, bearded self, but Risdon in that film plays an eastern woman accompanying her niece. Gabby deals with her in the usual Gabby fashion there. Here in Roll On Texas Moon, Risdon is more than a match for Gabby, though in the end it&#39;s hinted there might be a little senior citizen romance in the offing.<br/><br/>Western fans especially B western aficionados will be somewhat taken aback by the presence of Dennis Hoey. The distinguished British actor best known for being Inspector Lestrade of Scotland Yard, probably grabbed at his chance to be in a western and add it to his list of credits. <br/><br/>The title song is a nice one, Roy recorded it back in the day and it suits him perfectly. So does this unpretentious B western from the factory owned by Herbert J. Yates knownRepublic Pictures. Using the age old conflict between cattle ranchers and sheepherders this film shinesone of my top five favorite Roy Rogers films. Dale Evans and George &quot;Gabby&quot; Hayes along with the Son&#39;s of the Pioneers join Roy. Another uncredited star in this film is a little lamb with a bow around it&#39;s neck and the pet of Dale&#39;s character. The first time the lamb sees cattleman Gabby, it falls in love with him. Much to his dismay it chases after him and the scenes of these two together are hilarious. Try to see the uncut version. Any Rogers film that is 55 minutes long has been cut! Hope you enjoy itmuchour family does!
