vincentlynch-moonoi Not a bad LITTLE Western with Roy Rogers. This is one of the first of Roy's films that I've seen in at least 50 years, and it occurred to me that one of the attractions to Roy's movies was that a story was told in about an hour, so the stories would move right along with no lulls in the action.Here, a murder years earlier rears it ugly head when the daughter of the murdered gold miner goes west to get her inheritance. The original murderer and his buddies intend keeping that inheritance, as well as the cattle belonging to Roy and the Sons Of The Pioneers. Helping to solve both issues is deputy Andy Devine...which isn't quite the buffoon that he often portrayed. The only downer here is the female sort-of-love-interest Adele Mara...hardly even a B actress.Roy plays Roy, Trigger is along, of course. Grant Withers is a very limited talented bad guy. Marie Harmon is Adele Mara's best friend (another less than B actress). Joseph Crehan is the engineer Casey; Crehan had quite a long career. George Carleton plays the relatively crooked attorney. Bob Nolan and the Sons Of The Pioneers are along as Roy's pals and provide a nice background for the title song.If you like them simple, sweet, and brief, you can watch the film on Amazon video service, but the video quality is limited. Great for Roy's fans...I guess there are a few of us left.

MartinHafer 56 abbreviated--songs removed Andy Devine Adele Mara modern starts off with odd prologue--to whom was he talking?! plan on cheating lady out of $50000 Farrell (Grant Withers)"Night Time in Nevada" is slightly better than average Roy Rogers film. It's worth seeing if you are a fan but that's really about all. However, my review should be taken with a grain of salt--I only saw an abbreviated version. That's because in the 1950s, many of his movies were cut down to fit into a TV time slot and in this case, the film was 56 minutes, not the original 67 minutes. I assume the big difference is that they cut out nearly all the songs to make this shorter version. And, in this case, this isn't so bad, as it made the film a bit tighter and smoother. The film also has a bonus because it does not co-star Dale Evans. I say this because too often Dale played a kooky and annoying character. Here, Adele Mara plays a more believable sort of woman--not some annoying idiot*.The film starts off very oddly. You hear Farrell narrating as it shows him murdering his long-time partner. You also learn that his partner had a daughter and she is entitled to his small fortune--something Farrell isn't about to allow since he is evil. When she (Mara) does arrive, Farrell connives with his lawyer friend to delay her. He also is the same evil galoot who stole Roy's cattle. Can Roy and Gabby get to the bottom of this? What do you think?!All in all, a decent sort of western that is mindless escapism. Enjoyable but undemanding.*While Rogers and Dale Evans were married in real life, I was always surprised at the ditsy roles Evans always received. After all, in the dozens of Roy and Dale films I've seen, I cannot recall one where she is level-headed and normal! Try watching a few yourself--you'll see what I mean.

ksf-2 Predictable but competent western from the usual suspects. I purchased this one on sale from TCM.Com. IMDb has it listed as "color", but the DVD version is quite black & white, so i'll add that. When Joan Andrews inherits a chunk of money from her prospector father, she goes out west to claim it, and runs into roadblocks and crooks along the way. The police (Andy Devine and Roy Rogers) set out to help her and get the crooks behind bars. Not a bad story. Adele Mara and Marie Harmon play the city slickers who go west, and play the helpless gals out of their element. A couple songs by the "Pioneers", of course. Did you also catch Hank Patterson as one of the tramps down by the tracks, with a speaking part? This was about 20 years before Petticoat Junction and Green Acres, where he played Mr. Ziffel. Directed by William Whitney, king of the westerns. Good way to spend 66 minutes.

revdrcac Roy, Trigger & Andy Devine are featured in this 1940's shoot-em-up that involves mining company rip-offs, double-dealing and the obligatory cowboy crooning. The plot and action are pretty standard, and the music is noteworthy -- especially "Rock Candy Mountain". The King of the Cowboys was in fine form in this one, with Andy Devine as one of his better sidekicks (but not as good as Gabby !).The stunts in this film were well done and superior to most in other stars films. I enjoyed this one and felt that the pacing and casting were fairly good. Most of Roger's films from this period seem interchangeable , but fans of the genre should enjoy this ride down the Happy Trails..........
