Wall Street Cowboy


Wall Street Cowboy is a 1939 American Western film directed by Joseph Kane and starring Roy Rogers.

Plot

Wall Street stock marketeers try to swindle Roy Rogers out of his ranch, when molybdenum, a valuable mineral is discovered on the property, which the villains plan to use for their steel-mining activities. Unable to pay his mortgage thanks to a crooked financier, Roy and his friends ride east to stop the Wall Street crooks.

Cast

wrote, "engaging Western with two sidekicks touches upon Depression-era subjects of corrupt banking institutions and foreclosures; fun to watch Roy riding in a steeplechase and singing in a nightclub "; and Dennis Schwartz wrote, "this Roy Rogers film had an undeserved bad reputation. I actually found it to be one of his better B Westerns, it was at least up to par with the typical Rogers action-packed oater except that the singing cowboy only sang a few songs. It uses the present as its setting. Joseph Kane directs in his usual credible fashion and it's ably written by Gerald Geraghty and Norman S. Hall."
