"Utah", released 03-21-1945, was an expanded and more musical remake of Gene Autry's "Springtime In The Rockies". By this time, Roy, Dale Evans, and "Gabby" Hayes, had their shtick down pretty well and had a load of banter to play too. Grant Withers was now one of the top villians on Republic's payroll and he brings good work, but no surprises to the piece. The end of the picture, was a set piece musical number that was kind of pasted on as on many other Roy Rogers films of that time. Fine TV Print and great sound too. A little off-beat but..Enjoy.
