Product: The Golden Stallion [VHS] (1949)
Rating: 4.0
Lovely color, pretty horses, great cowboys
One of the better Roy Rogers films, especially for fans of Trigger. When diamond-smugglers hide their stolen treasure inside the horseshoe of a gorgeous golden mare, Roy Rogers and Trigger are hot on her trail (Trigger for reasons other than Roy's, obviously). When Trigger is accused of murdering one of the smugglers, Roy takes the rap and goes to jail. The plot takes on more curly-cue twists than the designs on Roy's fancy saddle when the mare gives birth to Trigger Jr., and Trigger is taken by the thieves. Roy, finally out of jail, uses the colt to catch the bad guys and get Trigger back. If you're a real Trigger fan, don't miss 1946's My Pal Trigger, which follows the prized palomino from his birth through his first meeting with his pardner Roy. Another great Trigger movie moment is in 1952's Son of Paleface in which he costarred with comedian Bob Hope.Staci Layne Wilson
