Rhythm of the Saddle

Gene is the foreman at a ranch owned by nice Maureen. She also is in charge of a local rodeo but some baddie wants to take the rodeo away from her. These aren't exactly the usual high stakes but the baddie is willing to do anything to get control of the rodeao...including framing Gene for murder. And, without Gene to ride in the stagecoach race, he's sure to gain control of the rodeo.

I really thought that this was an enjoyable film but the plot itself really didn't make a lot of sense, even for a Gene Autry film. But the story is pleasant and modestly entertaining. Plus, it's nice to see Smiley get a lady the end of the film....which is a nice change of pace. I also loved the insane stuntwork done for the race....just watch it and you'll see what I mean.
