Tumbling Tumbleweeds (1935)


Republic Pictures
Directed by Joseph Kane
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Image Entertainment)
(Encore)

One of the earliest and best Gene Autry pictures for Republic. After a fight with his father he joins a traveling medicine show. Years later, he returns to find his father murdered and the suspect his best friend whom he just saved from dying. However, he soon learns that the real killers are loose and hatches a plan to get them. Gabby Hayes is fun in a supporting role not as a sidekick but the owner of the medicine show. Even Smiley Burnette manages to keep himself under control.
