The Old Corral (1936)

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

This may not be Gene Autry and Smiley Burnette's best film but it's not a bad movie. It's quite fun - really cute. What makes this film extra fun and special is the fact that Roy Rogers shows up as Buck O'Keefe - that yodel scene really cracked me up laughing. We also have Lon Chaney Jr as Garland - Simms partner. Makes for a fun film overall.We get a few songs, some gun firing, a few punches and a cool cast. The story is a bit strange: A woman witnesses a murder and ends up in a town that is still more like the old west rather than modern (for the time era). Of course our singing cowboy and sheriff Gene Autry is there to save the day.7.5/10

Despite the novelty of having Roy Rogers appear (very briefly) in this Gene Autry film, there is very little to distinguish this cowboy film. The plot isn't especially interesting and Autry doesn't sing anything particularly memorable or enjoyable.The film begins with a mobster murdering some sap--and a woman witnessing it. Instead of going to the police, she runs--and ends up out west. Naturally she soon meets up with nice-guy, Gene and the two soon end up between a local gang of jerks (one of which is played by Lon Chaney, Jr.) and the gang from back east. Can Gene restore niceness to the land? And, will anyone particularly care?I've seen a few dozen Autry films and would have to place it near the bottom. Even the usually likable Smiley Burnette and his antics are really subdued in this one and the action never really heats up. A slow-motion sort of picture at best with little to distinguish it.

This is a great Autry outing with a very young 24? year old Leonard Slye with the newly formed Sons of the Pioneers. One of the most beautiful of the Pioneers recordings is here "Silent Trails" to this fan a better song than "Tumbling Tubleweeds" or "Cool Water." The exterior scenes were the oft-used Iverson Ranch, very recognizable by the chase roads and rock formations. The town scenes were the Republic Studios western set which i think was new at this 1936 time frame. It became in the 1960's CBS Studio Center, back lot location for Gunsmoke, Big Valley, Cimmaron Strip and other westerns of the time. As far as Old Corral is concerned its a fine movie, some say hokey but not this fan. I'd rather see these than some newer westerns. Autry and the pioneers, Smiley and the rest are fine in the film. Only bad stuff to this fan were Oscar and Elmer, who I guess were maybe a radio duo or something similar at the time. Could have done without those two. They were in a couple of Autry films.

Gene Autry and Smiley Burnett (Frog) are singing and croaking their way through another Saturday matinee. Look for a very young Roy Rogers (Leonard Slye) and the Sons of the Pioneers.
