The Bronze Buckaroo

Bob Blake rides to the Jackson ranch with his sidekick Dusty and four singing cowboys, finds the brother missing and gold on the land, and works out which neighbour took him. Herb Jeffries, the singing cowboy of the all-Black Westerns, made four of them for the segregated circuit and this is the third, with the songs the best part, as he intended. Shot at Murray's Dude Ranch in Apple Valley, a Black-owned ranch that stood in for the West in all of them. Lucius Brooks is Dusty; Spencer Williams is in the cast. Hollywood Productions, 1939, fifty-eight minutes.
