Listen up, buckaroos:
Roy Rogers will honored Aug. 28 with
a day-long retrospective on Turner Classic Movies. Among the attractions:
Young Bill Hickok,
Young Buffalo Bill and
Jesse James at Bay, three sagebrush sagas featuring
The King of the Cowboys
as Wild West legends;
Dark Command, Roy's only co-starring stint with
John Wayne; and
The Cowboy and the Senorita, the 1944 classic that paired Roy for the first time with a lovely leading lady named
Dale Evans. The couple remained together for decades, on screen and off, roaming along many happy trails while making sweet music together.
Makes one wish their cable company had TCM; good for them for honoring a true hero; he was such a great man; really adored him as a child.
