Customer Reviews of Take ME Back to Oklahoma
Tex Ritter + Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys Tex Ritter teams up with Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys for this 1940 Monogram offering. Tex's old buddy Ace (Carleton Young) is in need of some help; the stagecoach line he works for is under attack from ruthless outlaws. Tex shows up just in time to save a runaway stage carrying Ace's sweetie (Terry Walker), then signs on as the new stage driver in town. Meanwhile, Storm (Karl "I'm not Buddy" Hackett) and his gang plot to get rid of ol' Tex by any means necessary. They actually put two plans into play simultaneously: if framing Tex for robbery doesn't work, they'll just send Mule Bates (Olin Francis) to kill him. Of course, before things get too hot and heavy, Tex helps put on a show to raise money for the local church, bringing in Bob Wills and his boys to help out (and to back him up against the outlaws). <

>Tex always has a sidekick, and this time around it's Slim Hunkapillar (Slim Andrews). Slim plays his role strictly for laughs, even more so than Tex's partners back in his Grand National film days. He's not afraid to do the same gag twice, either. He's funny at times - the old horse-mounting pratfalls always work, and he gets off a few good one-liners - but he can't sing a lick. Aside from his contribution, though, the music is really something to hear and see. Bob Wills was famous in his own right, and he and his boys give us a couple of good songs. Wills seemed to have his own style of fiddling, as I've never seen a fiddler move around so much, arms and all, while playing. As for Tex, he helps out on a couple of songs, but the only real jewel in this film is his rendition of You Are My Sunshine (backed up by Will and the boys). <

>There's nothing new about the plot, as most of Tex's movies were basically alike, but Take Me Back to Oklahoma is probably one of the more enjoyable Tex Ritter movies. Between Slim's cowboy hijinks and Robert McKenzie's distinctive voice and high-strung nature, Take Me Back to Oklahoma is probably one of Tex's funnier films. The music is definitely a plus, as well. Tex fans won't want to miss this one.
