Review(s): DVD Trail of Robin Hood |  |
| An all-star five-star western movie |  |
Growing up watching the cowboy movie stars I found this movie one of the best. It had an excellent plot with great stars including those who had guest appearances. I miss all of these stars and I am grateful to be able to see them on video in my own home.

| One of the best |  |
This is Roy at his heroic and charming best. Add the very versatile Jack Holt in one of his final films, Rocky Lane, Gordon Jones, and some of the great movie cowboy white and black hats of the 30's and 40's, along with Foy Willing and Riders of the Purple Sage for music, and you have plenty of action, comedy and music to go along with an OK plot. Some of the Tru-Color shots of the scenery are spectacular. Rex once told me he flew in from a road-tour and worked on the film for two days and flew back to continue his road show, and enjoyed working with Roy, one of his dearest friends. This is one of the better 'oaters' with plenty of action, music, and 'surprise' guest stars. A 'must' for fans of Roy, Rex, Rocky, Jack, and the genre!

| Those Old Republic Studio Westerns! - Bring 'Em Back |  |
If you were (are) a fan of the old westerns, and Roy Rogers in particular, you'll enjoy this movie. The plots OK - what's fun is seeing so many of the Republic Studio western heroes - Roy, Rocky Lane, Rex Allen, Bob Livingston - even some of the bad guys. I own this VHS tape, among many others, and consider it to be vintage Roy Rogers. Its well worth having.
