Goofs
* Continuity: The stagecoach drivers are robbed by Faye Denton in light-coloured clothing and hat. Yet later on they pursue Saunders as the hold-up man despite the facts that his clothing is all dark-coloured, he is taller and he is wearing a completely different hat.

* Continuity: When Saunders first appears in the film, he is carrying a guitar and singing.
The guitar is not with him when he gives his horse to Faye Denton
to make her escape, but he has it back when he is at the Denton's house
and sings to the family.

Memorable Quotes
Singin' Sandy Saunders: Howdy, folks. Could you tell me where the Sheriff is?
James Kincaid: Oh, I take charge when he isn't here. Can I do anything I can you do for you?
Singin' Sandy Saunders: Thanks, I'll wait for him.
James Kincaid: The Sheriff didn't care especially for this job - he might not come back.
Singin' Sandy Saunders: I'll take that chance. I have an idea he *will* come back.
[Singin' Sandy leaves the jailhouse]
James Kincaid: I don't like the way that fellow talks. We'll watch him.

Hi,
I have to be fair, and say, I am biased towards, these Lone Star films.
I enjoy all of them, for all their whirlwind, few days, low budget filming,
they are a joy, and fun to watch.
It is great to see Duke maturing in his career, and by the end of the series,
his cadence is lower, and more mature.
Throughout this series there were some fine character actors,
and this one, is no exception, with Gabby, Celia Parker, Earl Dwire
and Lafe McKee, adding their professional touch.
However, Singing Sandy, was ludricous, with Duke's
singing being dubbed.
He hardly seemed threatening, and Duke was happy
when they dropped that idea.
Rating 6/10

Hi,
This one was the first that I have seen from the early Dukes movies. I like to watch this Lone Star pictures again sometimes (in moody times, they calm me), there is something in them.
Regards,
Senta

What's really funny about the Singin' Sandy thing is that in one of the copies I have, it is different music throughout, including the singing part, which actually sounds kind of like one would imagine John Wayne would have sounded. I learned afterwards that this was NOT the orignal soundtrack, but dubbed in by some distribution company much later.

Arthur may have some more information on this.

Hi Jim,
If you have any of the dubbed colourised versions, they are even worse, with Duke's voice sounding,like Duke sounded, 20 years later!!
I have versions, for example RAINBOW VALLEY, where there is obviously,
the original music, because, it's a syncopated orchestra, and in between,
there are clearly more modern synthesized pieces.
On the Second- Sight re-issue of these,
they were re-mastered by FOX/LORBER ASSOCIATES,
and they all feature the same distinctive sync music.
I can only assume therefore, that the original soundtracks on some of these films had deteriorated,
and clearly some restoration was required, to get the soundtrack audible.

Hi everyone,

Thanks for the all help out there. I posted a question a few months ago about a movie I was looking for where John Wayne is helping ranchers with their water rights. The movie is called "Riders of Destiny". Here's the description:

"Gun-slinging, edge-of-your-seat action. James Kincade manages the area's water supply and is forcing the ranchers to sign a contract to secure expensive water rates. Singin' Sandy Saunders a Government Agent plots against Kincade to overthrow the contract and impress Fay Denton. " I found this at: http://alldvduk.com/?search=Riders+of+Destiny&category=DVD
Hope you have it, Laura

Hi lmarkis,

Thanks for your post,
and I have taken the liberty of moving this
to the dedicated thread regarding this movie.
I am sure you will find all the information
you want, here.

Here are two posters, the second one (like the one Keith has in his introductory post) a 1947 re-release poster.
