There's a singing cowboy hero, a charming heroine, a melodious quartet, two amusing comedians, but best of all I liked the villain. I guess because he reminded me of Akim Tamiroff. If you like Westerns, this one will be an innovation.

Best parts of the picture are the tunes, Harlem on the Prairie and Romance in the Rain.

The title song and "Romance in the Rain" are the outstanders, in which Herb Jeffries, the singing cowboy hero, distinguishes himself vocally as well as manfully.

Jeffries cuts a gallant figure... He is also gifted with a fine voice.
