Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Tex Ritter was already a recording star when he made this; he insisted on doing his own singing, which producer Edward Finney happily exploited for cheap soundtrack rights.
The 'singing cowboy' craze peaked in 1938—Gene Rogers was king, but Ritter's everyman charm kept him working through 40+ B-westerns that year alone.
