Movie Reviews of Nevada City
Movie Review: "Roy Rogers B-Western Series ... Nevada City (1941) ... Republic Pictures "
Summary: 4 Stars
Republic Pictures present "NEVADA CITY" (20 June 1941) (54 mins/B&W) (Fully Restored/Dolby Digitally Remastered) --- Roy Rogers (born Leonard Slye) moved to California in 1930, at the age of 18 --- played in such musical groups as The Hollywood Hillbillies, Rocky Mountaineers, Texas Outlaws and his own group, the International Cowboys --- In 1934 he formed a group with Bob Nolan and Tim Spencer called "Sons of the Pioneers" --- While in that group he was known as Leonard Slye, then Dick Weston and finally Roy Rogers --- Their songs included "Cool Water" and "Tumbling Tumbleweeds" --- They first appeared in the western "Rhythm on the Range" (1936), starring Bing Crosby --- In 1937 Roy went solo and made his first starring film in 1938, "Under Western Stars" (1938) --- He made almost 100 films --- then came television, "The Roy Rogers Show" (1951) ran on CBS from October 1951 through September 1964.
Under Joseph Kane (Director / Producer), James R. Webb (Screenwriter), William Nobles (Cinematographer), Cy Feuer (Composer (Music Score) / Musical Direction/Supervision), Les Orlebeck (Editor) - - - - Our story line and plot, A crooked businessman uses the notorious outlaw Black Bart to foment trouble between the owners of a stage line and a railroad --- Jeff Connor (Roy Rogers) driver for the stage company tries to mediate --- when you see Roy later in the film navigating his way atop the cars of a moving train, be sure to credit Yakima Canutt for the stunt work --- Yakima also appears briefly as a stagecoach driver --- "Nevada City" has a pretty good mix of action, gunfights, and humor, with Roy and Gabby complementing each other nicely as a good guy tandem --- Roy and Sally do hook up at the end of the story, tying up that plot line as well --- This Roy Rogers outing is all action. Not long after this film, Roy turned more and more to his singing (he had helped start the legendary Sons of the Pioneers) until many of his films became musical extravaganzas, not unlike Broadway shows of the day. So enjoy this fast paced Roy Rogers oater to see why he came to be called "The King of The Cowboys." --- some wonderful tunes, LONELY HILLS -- PRAIRIE SERENADE -- STARS OVER THE PRAIRIE.
