Gene and Champion ride into the sunset .....
18 May 2006
This final movie from America's favorite Cowboy has all the elements that made Gene Autry a legend. As always, the action, pacing and supporting cast are top-notch. It was nice to see Gene's longtime sidekick Smiley Burnette back in the saddle again in the final films of the series.

Even folks who are not fans of the singing cowboys will be entertained by Autry's homage to the Pony Express.

Autry's post-war films feature less music, more interesting story lines and appropriate budgeting. This film is no exception, ,mixing history, humor and action to create a fitting swan-song for Gene, Smiley and the World's Wonder Horse.
