I purchased this movie because one of my good friends was pictured in the crowd scenes at the Rodeo. I was delighted to see him when he was just a little boy. Also, it was a wonderful Roy Rogers Western. I loved to see the "King of the Cowboys" when I was a small boy, and having lived in Las Vegas for 35 years, this was a great experience for me. Yes it is an old Movie, not like the Western of our Modern Time. But I thoroughly enjoyed the music and the scenery and I know you will too.

The Roan group did a great job restoring this film. We've watched both Heldorado and Old Cheyenne and Old Cheyenne is the better of the two movies. Why, more of a clear western. The movie is set in Wyoming, but it's pretty clear that it was shot on the same set as most of the Roy Rogers movies out near Josha Tree National Park. Roy owned some property now called "Pioneer Town" and shot a lot of movies out here. Gabby Hayes is great as the geezer who does right. Seems like everybody learned to shoot at "the storm trooper sharpshooter academy" (ie. even with a rifle no one seems to be able to hit anything smaller than the broad side of a barn. But it's all in good fun until the house catches fire and the boys have to make a run for it. If you like Roy Rogers films, you'll like this set.
