Typical good-ole guy routine...

1st watched 8/21/2002 - 5 out of 10(Dir-Joseph Kane): Typical good-ole guy routine from Roy Rogers where he figures out everything to solve the mystery of who robbed a bank in the good ole west. Pretty much what I expected, although there are some twists and turns in this one and the methods Rogers and his sidekick use to find out whodunit is fairly ingenious, but does this make it a good movie. Well, not really, it just makes it ok to watch. I think these films have their place and I'm glad to see them restored onto DVD but the plot is much too simple and the villains a little to nice for us veteran-film viewing folk. Bye for now pardners!!

Goofs
(at around 47 mins) A trainman comes into the passenger car selling newspapers. He announces a headline about building a canal across the Isthmus of Panama. Jesse James died in April 1882, many years before a proposal to build the Panama Canal.

To the contrary, in the early- to mid-1800s, several nations were interested in building a canal in Central America that would cut shipping times between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The U.S. and Great Britain negotiated the Clayton-Bulwer Treaty to build a canal in Nicaragua, and in 1880 France began excavation in Panama. So, while the canal was not built until the 1900s, there was talk in the U.S. about building the canal during Jesse James' lifetime.

Quotes
Gabby Whittaker: Let me tell you something, young fella. Never have nothing to do with no banks. If you got any money to protect, get yourself a good dog... like Whiskers here. It'd be a whole lot safer with him.
