Irene Thirer New York Daily News There's a singing cowboy hero, a charming heroine, a melodious quartet, two amusing comedians, but best of all I liked the villain. I guess because he reminded me of Akim Tamiroff. If you like Westerns, this one will be an innovation. Dec 9, 2020 Full Review TIME Staff TIME Magazine Best parts of the picture are the tunes, Harlem on the Prairie and Romance in the Rain. Oct 2, 2019 Full Review Abel Green Variety The title song and "Romance in the Rain" are the outstanders, in which Herb Jeffries, the singing cowboy hero, distinguishes himself vocally as well as manfully. Oct 2, 2019 Full Review John Kinloch California Eagle Jeffries cuts a gallant figure... He is also gifted with a fine voice. Dec 9, 2020 Full Review William E. Clark New York Age The photography and settings are above the average and the team of Miller and Mantan get the honors for acting. Dec 9, 2020 Full Review Gus McCarthy Motion Picture Herald (Exhibitors Herald) In it are combined the necessary elements of melodrama, romance, comedy, suspense, action and surprise. Well photographed scenic backgrounds are an asset and... solo, chorus and instrumental music add to the entertainment. Dec 9, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews
