Peculiar co-feature with comedy and songs served as a showcase for the singing talents of country-and-western star Eddy Arnold, who performs three songs and also gives a soft-spoken performance modeled on his own laid-back persona. The muddled story has something to do with a musical cowboy radio program whose host is hoping to move the show to television; unfortunately, his producer (a society matron with high artistic ideals) would rather hear Shakespeare than cattle calls.
Hello, Along with Roy Rogers, Eddy Arnold was my hero! I was 12 years old when I saw this movie and naturally I was crazy about it!
Sure, it's a cornpone musical, but Eddie Arnold's warbling is clear as a bell. Plus, he gets to do his signature Cattle Call tune twice, so fans like me should be happy.
Eddy Arnold's name in the credits for this cable TV listing prompted me to tune in and once under way it was pretty obvious that it was Kirby Grant's picture most of the way, even though he's third billed behind Arnold and Gloria Henry, also with less screen time and a smaller role. I'd never seen Arnold before so I'm glad I got to catch him, but oh what a mess of a movie.
