Trouble in Texas (1937)

Directed by Robert N. Bradbury
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, VCI Entertainment)

Tex Ritter programmer that does feature some interesting historical footage of a real rodeo. We get to see some real Indians, fancy ropers, bronco busters and bulldoggin'...at least that's what they called it. The plot borrows from mysteries that were popular at the time with bad guys using poison needles hidden in the bronco bustin' ropes. Tex and his Tornadoes sing some good songs, but a real downer of a gospel song was an odd choice to sing in front of the large rodeo crowd!
