Product Description

In a time of innocence, his straightforward, all-American cowboy manner made him a beloved international icon. At the height of his fame, Leonard Frank Slye (a.k.a. Roy Rogers) was one of Hollywood's biggest stars. In 1948 alone, his movies sold nearly 100 million tickets. In the 1950s, more than two million children every month bought comic books, breathlessly following the adventures of Roy and his famous golden palomino, Trigger. Now, for the first time, BIOGRAPHY® presents the complete story of the boy from Cincinnati, Ohio, who became the "King of the Cowboys." Home movies, film outtakes, and rare television clips provide a glimpse into Rogers's lightning rise to stardom. From his humble beginnings as a radio singer and guitar player to his place in history as a matinee idol, this is an intimate portrait of ROY ROGERS, quintessential American hero. DVD Features: Interactive Menus; Scene Selection

5.0 out of 5 stars Get to know the REAL Roy Rogers!, June 7, 2007

By	Mark Barragar - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you want to know the Real Roy Rogers and not just the "King of the Cowboys" from the Silver Screen, then this is a MUST for your video library. I had the honor of meeting both Roy and Dale at the Cowboy Hall of Fame in Oklahoma City and they were two of the most genuine people and just as wholesome as they played on the screen. If you love the Singin' Cowboy and love Roy and Dale then you have to see this wonderful bio.
Mark from Oklahoma!

I've always loved Roy Rogers and by extension Dale Evans, their radio shows, films, recordings, comics, etc. This is no exception. I don't think I learned anything new here, but I certainly enjoyed watching this DVD.
