The Arizona Cowboy heads to Utah ............

In this pretty good oater from 1951, baritone-voiced Rex Allen finds himself called to avenge a death and lead an "anniversary" wagon train. Faithful sidekick Buddy Ebsen is along for comic support.

Rex Allen was at home in the saddle, had a good voice and was photogenic..... this film shows why the studio was expecting big things from this singin cowboy. The plot, casting and music here were a notch above a number of other singing cowboy films of the day. Ebsen was a convincing sidekick here , in a role pretty similar to the one he had with Fess Parker in the later Davy Crockett film series.

I enjoyed this one and wish the B-westerns had lasted longer, so Rex could have matured into Americas's number one cowboy .........
