friscolobo,
Many of the uncut versions of Roy's films found on VHS and DVD came from private collections, e.g. color versions of both Bells of San Angelo and Under California Stars. I understand that some of these prints were actually stolen from theaters. Some uncut prints in private collections were also purchased from libraries. It would be great if an uncut print of Sunset in El Dorado would surface from a private collection. It would be great to get it on DVD.

I think "Call of the Prarie" is one of the prettiest RR songs I've heard. That was actually the song that inspired me to save up for the It Was Always the Music set.

Jwhitney,
I wish someone would obtain an uncut version of Man From Oklahoma. They cut out the "Martins and McCoys" song that is great. Roy and Sons sing it in the barn before Dale enters.

friscolobo,
Both Sunset in El Dorado and Man from Oklahoma are at the top my want list for uncut RR films.

I guess the Happy Trails Theatre version of Sunset in Eldorado is cut?
If it's a job, do it. Pardner, put your back in to it. 'Cause a little bit of dirt's gonna wash off in the rain. If it's a horse, ride it. If it hurts, hide it. Dust yourself off and get back on again. That's cowboy logic, every cowboy's got it. It's in the way he lives his life and the songs he sings.

Right. The uncut version isn't available, so RRFan and I bought that one. It's really a good movie, even though it is cut.

That was the 4th RR movie I ever watched. My parents got it in a special HTT gift pack from Giant Tiger as a surprise in Feb. 2006.

Yes my brother bought this movie for me recently on a trip he made. I like where they show the video of Roy with all the Palaminos!

We just watched Sunset in Eldorado again the other night, and I'd almost forgotten
how much I like that one!!!! It's a really good movie, and all the actors are at their
top best. Roy's acting is partciularly good, as is Dale's. And the way Gabby and that
aunt of Dale's act together, it's great!!!!! I also like Roy Barcroft being nice for a little
bit there too. I know they were bad-guy motives, but I liked it all the same. I like Roy
Barcroft better being a good-guy than a bad one. Am I the only one with that idea
around here? I'd kinda like to see his TV show!!!!!!!!! Okay, maybe not that far, but I
do like it when he pays a bit part as a good-guy. He doesn't really make the best of
bad-guys.

RRFan,
Roy Barcroft did play a good guy in Cherokee Flash a Sunset Carson movie. In this one he played Sunset Carson's father, who had been an outlaw, but served his time and went straight. He is then framed by his old gang and Sunset has to get him out of trouble.

You know, I was looking at the credits for Sunset in El Dorado the other day, and thinking how ironic they are. Here is this movie, written for Dale, and she gets more than two-thirds of the screen time and the whole plot centers around her problem, and she only gets third billing again. I think she should've gotten star billing along with Roy. I think that always, of course, but especially in Sunset in El Dorado.

RRS,
I completely agree with you. I never understood what rationale was used to determine the order of the billing. Dale got short changed on a number of the RR films.

I have a question. In SiEL, Why did DE's character decide to do her number on the floor, when RR and Buster or who ever he was were going thru Cyril's desk? Wouldn't of it been better if she had of stayed on the stage?

I'll say! But Sunset in El Dorado was especially unfair. It was HER story, after all! Roy was a secondary character, albeit an awfully good one! The plot functioned around Dale.

Well, I don't know for sure, but my guess is that she was trying to get so much attention that no one would notice what was going on in Cyril's office. She also had a better view of the door from the floor.

True, but because she was on the floor, the BG went in search of her body guard...

That's absolutely correct. But I think my idea's right, and her scheme just backfired on her. You have to admit, it wouldn't exactly be the first time....

Jim, I think it would be good for all of us to know about your expertise on "un-cut" RR movies and some of the other items of interest and how you came to have such knowledge. I, for one, would be interested. Would you share that with us?

Does anyone know how long SiED was before it was cut? (In other words, how much we're missing  )
