West to Glory

Singing western with Eddie Dean. "Songs are pleasant, shooting ample and riding graphic. Lazy, slow story and corny humor won't hurt much.... Story has Eddie Dean as a U. S. sheriff unmasking a gang of crooks trying to steal gold and precious jewels from a Mexican rancher somewhere north of the border. Lame story, trite dialog don't excite, but accent is rather on romance and music. Dean warbles three cowboy ballads very pleasantly in a light, appealing lyric tenor, assisted by the Sunshine Boys, instrumental quartet. Songs are above average... Lensing, director stack up okay, with some good outdoor shots to catch the scenic-minded eye." (Variety, April 30, 1947)
