Relive the days of movies gone by.

I don't have cable so I have not seen these movies in years. Quality is not exactly perfect but it's plenty good for me. Amazing the films held up all these years. The one thing I've missed most all these years is the unique sound of the Winchester rifle's and the Colt handguns, even though real firearms don't sound like that. Thanks Amazon for having these DVD's available for us. G. Burton

GOOD VALUE DVD !

This is definately a mixed-bag of Roy Rogers films, but really worth checking out. As stated in a previous review, LIGHTS OF OLD SANTA FE is a heavily edited version, however, UNDER CALIFORNIA STARS appears complete and is 20min. longer +2songs than the Roy Rogers Authorized HAPPY TRAILS THEATER release...& it looks great too!
20 movies here for under ten bucks...& they all are in decent shape (visually), some edited for TV consumption, some complete.
All in all, a good value for your hard earned cash.
Buy this as a starter pack and then look for complete versions of your favorites...& this could be a hard task since Roy's movies were cut for TV eons ago. However, complete versions are out there.
Mill Creek has great packaging and a pretty good product.
20 Roy movies. Under 10 bucks from AMAZON...It's a good value!

Happy Trails

When I was a boy in Philadelpia the Saturday matinee was the reigning tradition. When I was very young I might spend the weekend with my grandparents, and my grandmother would take me. Roy Rogers was the staple for the extra matinee special. He was my hero, the good guy who stood for all the right things.

When I became older, in the early 50's, Roy became a Christian in the Billy Graham evangelistic crusade in Los Angeles. He was one of the founders of the Hollywood Christian group, and once again he was my hero. He not only believed the right stuff, but he did the right stuff. He adopted several orphan children. He traveled with the Billy Graham evangelistic Association in their crusades. He worked with the youth of America.

Watching the King of the Cowboys took me back to a better time in this nation's culture. A time when we knew right from wrong, and our heros were champions of the right. We need to get back there, and the Roy Rogers Collection helps us to remember.
