Begins a long list of firsts from Republic
Robert Jones | Cross Lanes, WV | 11/28/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Just as the Lone Ranger had his William Tell Overture, so this series had its easily recognizad music and is one of the most charming, "tuneful" bits of film composing ever. Had it been done at Disney or Warners, it would haved been up for a nomination. Only now are the children of Republic as I call my generation, realising how right we were in knowing there was something more than B/ Saturday entertainment here. The concept has never changed in trio casting, all the way to Gunsmoke, to Bonanza and even Star Wars, you have the dependable, mature big brother. the young reckless "little" brother, and the comic relief character. But as I have written elsewhere in these reviews, the crowning glory at Republic was its camera work and music scores. Along with WiliiamLava's Don Red Barry title/credit music, The "Sceeters" music rivals Bonanza's.
Otherwise any of the movies in this series is just what you expect and expect to enjoy. No dissapointment there."
