Singing on the Trail (1946)
In this Western, Ken Curtis, Columbia Pictures' low-budget answer to Gene Autry, romanced one of the studio's most beautiful starlets, Rita Hayworth-lookalike Dusty Anderson. She played Helen Wyatt, whose father (the rotund Guy Kibbee) loses his ranch to the hayseed singing group the Hoosier Hot Shots. Unbeknownst to Wyatt, the Hot Shots have been swindled by a couple of Eastern crooks (Ian Keith and Matt Willis) and consider themselves the lawful owners. Chased by the irascible Wyatt, the band members seek protection from aspiring singer Curt Stanton (Curtis), who they mistake for a gunslinger.

best movie i've ever seen.
if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
