Romance of the West

With PRC [Producer's Releasing Corp.] making every effort to produce westerns for Eddie Dean that are comparable to those Republic turns out for Roy Rogers, it won't be long before their personable singing cowboy star becomes Roy's closest competition with western fans. Like Rogers he is the type the kids go for. And his new picture, 'Romance of the West,' is a good, fast, rough outdoor film, photographed in Cinecolor. The story of this new picture... is not original, but it's been quite a while since it was used by movie makers. It's the one about the good Indians who are trying hard to be peaceful and the bad Indians who commit atrocities for which the former are blamed. Dean plays an Indian agent, responsible for the redskins' behavior. White men who want to chase the good Indians from their territory are the instigators of the crimes committed by the other Indians. There are a few bad times for Dean and his good friends before he proves to officials that they are deserving of the privileges given them by the Government...." (New York Daily News, June 12, 1946)
