Roy Rogers - The picture and video quality are so bad that it takes away from the solid old school plotline.
Movie Reviews
Comment on Along the Navajo Trail

"Although the box lists this title as a 60 minute video, it is actually a full length version with a running time of 65 minutes. That makes this video unique in this regard as previous releases have been the 54 minute TV version. Although not quite as good as some of the other Republic video releases in this series, the picture quality is above average with very good sound quality. This 1945 release is in the era when "Gabby" Hayes and Dale Evans co-starred with Roy. Highly recommended for the Roy Rogers' collector."
All ages now are ROY ROGERS fans. Movie receipts confirm.

"The end of the War and the movie industry starts booming.Roy's Movies now pickup a more mature stories,that show how the singing cowboy help rid the U.S.A. of unsavory characters.Indians come to Roy's rescue because he is one of them also. Lets look at the cast,Gabby,Dale, Estelita,Barcroft,the Sons of the Pioneers,when this movie first got rated it only received a three star rating. Review this movie and tell me it don't rate a FOUR STAR RATING."

"I bought this DVD looking forward to hearing the songs in it but alas no music. Even the Gypsy scene was cut short and no music. This is supposed to be the authorized version by the Roy Rogers Estate and there's no music? Very disappointing. What a waste of money."

"My husband and I grew up with Roy Rogers as our hero. We especially like the song "Cool Water", which the description said was one of the songs on this DVD. It was NOT! Nowhere on this DVD was "Cool Water"!!
All in all, I would have to say we still enjoyed the movie and all of the extras that came with it and we would not return it for anything. We loved every minute of that DVD and will watch it many times in the years to come."
Clean Cut Fun - But Navajos?

"This classic Roy Rogers tale also stars Dale Evans. In this DVD version you even have an intro scene where these two talk about the movie and a few parts of it that they enjoyed.
Roy is a US Marshall trying to track down wrong-doers. He hangs out at a local ranch, falling for the rancher's daughter. In the meantime, a group of gypsies come into town, and the usual cat-fight erupts between the rancher girl and the gypsy girl over the handsome marshall. There are numerous jokes at the gypsies expense.
Roy eventually figures out who the bad guys are, and what they are up to. He saves the day in a manly yet kid-friendly manner.
These are classics in terms of being family friendly, with a light comedy aspect and little actual bloodshed or cursing. That all being said, for a "Navajo Trail" title, where are the Indians? Where are the Mexicans? All you have are very clean cut Westerners, and a few Spanish Gypsies. I would have loved the story to include more cultures, more of the melting pot of this region. I realize that Roy Rogers was "clean cut fun" - but there's no harm in a movie being a bit educational, too, about the region it covers. It was almost like the Disney World version of what the Wild West was all about."
