(1952) Cattle Town WESTERN

All it is, is just an excuse for singer/ actor Dennis Morgon playing as Western gov't assistant Mike McGann to sing some unmemorable old Western tunes (not country) to aid cattle from being stolen from wealthy businessman from another town or district. There's a good saloon brawl somewhere in the middle of the picture, topping it off with a 'sped-up' or 'fast-forward' fight with the main star duke it out with two people, a known technique done used to be done on old black and white Western tv shows- and doesn't work on adults but may be convincing to see with kids. Anyways, as far as the singing goes, it's like listening to old choir songs, like some old Roy Roger films or John Wayne's 45 minute short Western films who is by the way not even using his own voice, except to say that all the tunes are simple and uninspiring, like some other old musicals when their is no punch and the viewer is just staring at the screen completely stoned- it's really that bad.
