Subject: Enjoyable all-black western (1939)
This surprisingly enjoyable B-Western is the middle of three films featuring Herb Jeffries as the Bronze Buckaroo. It, along with the other two --Two-Gun Man from Harlem (1938) and Harlem Rides the Range (1939), are directed by Richard Kahn. Herb Jeffries was the first black singing cowboy. His baritone, along with the singing of the Four Tones, adds to the pleasure of watching and listening to the film.
