GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
JohnHowardReid Unfortunately, in stark contrast to the excellent work DVD companies have done for Gene Autry and Bill Boyd, Roy Rogers has been treated rather shabbily. Many of the titles on sale offer blurry, faded, out-of-focus pictures with garbled and/or muffled sound tracks. Even worse, the Trucolor entries are often presented in various shades of gray. An exception is "Night Time in Nevada" (1948) which Mill Creek present in a well-graded black-and-white copy. I'd rather watch Trucolor, but even in black-and-white, the movie provides a feast for railroad buffs, plus fans of Grant Withers who turns in one of his most charismatic portrayals ever. In fact, I think Sloan Nibley wrote his screenplay primarily with Withers in mind as the villain, and then added Roy, Andy Devine and the super-wonderful George Carleton who plays the crooked lawyer.
bkoganbing One of the nastiest villains that Roy Rogers ever tangled with was played by Grant Withers in Night Time In Nevada. He kills three of his partners during the course of this film.The first one was his partner in a mine played by Jim Nolan and told to another partner in flashback. George M. Carleton is your basic shyster attorney and they plot to do Nolan's now grown daughter Adele Mara out of a trust fund that Nolan set up for her and which lawyer Carleton has been bilking over the years.Another murder, that of beloved train engineer Joseph Crehan, brings Roy Rogers, Andy Devine and the Sons Of The Pioneers into the mix. With Mara and girlfriend Elaine Edwards now arrived the bad guys are of course brought to justice.Other than the classic Big Rock Candy Mountain there are no really good songs in this Roy Rogers film. But that's made up for in the action which comes fast and furious. The climax is well staged with Roy holding off the bad guys on a moving train.Roy's Saturday matinée kid crowd definitely loved this one.
vincentlynch-moonoi Not a bad LITTLE Western with Roy Rogers. This is one of the first of Roy's films that I've seen in at least 50 years, and it occurred to me that one of the attractions to Roy's movies was that a story was told in about an hour, so the stories would move right along with no lulls in the action.Here, a murder years earlier rears it ugly head when the daughter of the murdered gold miner goes west to get her inheritance. The original murderer and his buddies intend keeping that inheritance, as well as the cattle belonging to Roy and the Sons Of The Pioneers. Helping to solve both issues is deputy Andy Devine...which isn't quite the buffoon that he often portrayed. The only downer here is the female sort-of-love-interest Adele Mara...hardly even a B actress.Roy plays Roy, Trigger is along, of course. Grant Withers is a very limited talented bad guy. Marie Harmon is Adele Mara's best friend (another less than B actress). Joseph Crehan is the engineer Casey; Crehan had quite a long career. George Carleton plays the relatively crooked attorney. Bob Nolan and the Sons Of The Pioneers are along as Roy's pals and provide a nice background for the title song.If you like them simple, sweet, and brief, you can watch the film on Amazon video service, but the video quality is limited. Great for Roy's fans...I guess there are a few of us left.
MartinHafer 56 abbreviated--songs removed Andy Devine Adele Mara modern starts off with odd prologue--to whom was he talking?! plan on cheating lady out of $50000 Farrell (Grant Withers)"Night Time in Nevada" is slightly better than average Roy Rogers film. It's worth seeing if you are a fan but that's really about all. However, my review should be taken with a grain of salt--I only saw an abbreviated version. That's because in the 1950s, many of his movies were cut down to fit into a TV time slot and in this case, the film was 56 minutes, not the original 67 minutes. I assume the big difference is that they cut out nearly all the songs to make this shorter version. And, in this case, this isn't so bad, as it made the film a bit tighter and smoother. The film also has a bonus because it does not co-star Dale Evans. I say this because too often Dale played a kooky and annoying character. Here, Adele Mara plays a more believable sort of woman--not some annoying idiot*.The film starts off very oddly. You hear Farrell narrating as it shows him murdering his long-time partner. You also learn that his partner had a daughter and she is entitled to his small fortune--something Farrell isn't about to allow since he is evil. When she (Mara) does arrive, Farrell connives with his lawyer friend to delay her. He also is the same evil galoot who stole Roy's cattle. Can Roy and Gabby get to the bottom of this? What do you think?!All in all, a decent sort of western that is mindless escapism. Enjoyable but undemanding.*While Rogers and Dale Evans were married in real life, I was always surprised at the ditsy roles Evans always received. After all, in the dozens of Roy and Dale films I've seen, I cannot recall one where she is level-headed and normal! Try watching a few yourself--you'll see what I mean.
