Boots And Saddles is a 1937 Western film which stars Gene Autry, Smiley Burnette, and Judith Allen. It was directed by Joseph Kane and produced by Nat Levine for Republic Pictures. The movie is an interesting mix of musical and Western genres, which is a trademark of Autry's films. The story is set in the Wild West and centers around a group of army recruits who are traveling by train to their new station. One of the recruits is Autry, who is a singing cowboy. He immediately draws attention to himself with his guitar and his cowboy hat. As the train makes its way through the rugged terrain, they reach a station where they are ambushed by a group of Native American warriors. The soldiers are taken by surprise, but Autry and his trusty sidekick, Frog (played by Burnette), manage to escape into the wilderness.

As they make their way through the rugged terrain, they stumble upon a group of homesteaders who are being threatened by a local cattle rancher. The homesteaders are desperately trying to hold onto their land, but the ruthless rancher is determined to drive them out. Autry, who has a soft spot for the underdog, decides to help the homesteaders by convincing the army to help them.

In addition to the cowboy and musical elements of the film, there is also a romantic component. Judith Allen plays the role of the female lead, a beautiful and capable homesteader, whom Autry falls for. Although there are moments of tension, the chemistry between the two characters is palpable, and their relationship provides a nice counter-balance to the drama and action that unfolds in the movie.

Overall, Boots and Saddles is an enjoyable and entertaining Western film from the late 1930s. It does an excellent job of blending the musical and cowboy genres, and the performances from Autry, Burnette, and Allen are all impressive. The film also handles the themes of Native American rights and land disputes with a degree of sensitivity, which was relatively rare for Westerns of this era. Additionally, the action sequences are well choreographed and suspenseful, and the cinematography captures the rugged beauty of the Western landscape.

While the plot may be predictable at times, the movie is nonetheless a fun and engaging ride for anyone who loves Westerns, musicals, or a good old-fashioned piece of cinematic Americana. It is a fine example of Gene Autry's unique talents and enduring legacy, and it remains a beloved classic of its genre to this day.

Boots And Saddles is a 1937 western with a runtime of 59 minutes. It has received moderate reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 5.6.
