Loaded Pistols (1948)

Gene Autry rescues a young man from trouble.

[6/10 · 25 December 2006]

This is an action-packed Autry movie that lets Gene ride, rescue, sing and romance. Gene is more than ready to clear a young hothead, Larry Evans(Russell Arms),of charges of murder and find the real killer. Of course there is time romance Larry's pretty sister, Mary(Barbara Britton). Gene helps the young man hide in the cabin of an old prospector(Clem Bevans), while he uncovers who did the dastardly deed. There's loads of action and an array of music, with Gene crooning with the Cass County Boys: "When the Bloom is on the Sage", "Pretty Mary" and the title song being the best. The cast also features: Jack Holt, Robert Shayne, Leon Weaver and a real good performance from Chill Wills.
