Sons of New Mexico

"Maybe you cadets declared open season on pick up trucks with air rifles" Autry barks at Lieutenant Brunton in the opening scene. Taking place mostly at the New Mexico Military Institute, Sons is a good Gene Autry film with an amazing cast. Annie Oakley herself Gail Davis with the Lone Ranger Clayton Moore, Buffalo Bill Jr, Dickie Jones and grandma from the Addams Family, Marie Blake. Old movie favorite, Robert Armstrong was as strong as ever playing the card shark trying to steal the ranch. Frankie Darro who had a recurring role on "The Red Skelton Hour" played it well as the best friend gone bad. Rounding out the great cast was man of many films, Irving Bacon and Russell Adams as Lieutenant Chuck Brunton.
