Biography - Roy Rogers (A&E DVD Archives) Review

My little boy is a Roy Rogers freak, and now that I've watched a few of his movies and after we brought this video home from the library, I can see why. Roy Rogers was a great person, and he is reminiscent of a time of innocence that is so far removed from entertainment in our culture today. I highly recommend this video, you'll find out just about anything you've ever wanted to know about Roy Rogers...my only gripe is that I wish they would update this biography. This was done 2-3 years before Roy died, and before his museum was moved to Branson. There are obviously still plenty of Roy Rogers fans out there, and we'd all like to know how this megastar bid his final "Happy Trails", and where one might visit his grave. Many would probably also like to see an updated bit about the new Branson museum. Roy was is and forever will be THE KING OF THE COWBOYS

Biography - Roy Rogers (A&E DVD Archives) Overview

In a time of innocence, his straightforward, all-American cowboy manner made him a beloved international icon. At the height of his fame, Leonard Frank Slye (a.k.a. Roy Rogers) was one of Hollywood's biggest stars. In 1948 alone, his movies sold nearly 100 million tickets. In the 1950s, more than two million children every month bought comic books, breathlessly following the adventures of Roy and his famous golden palomino, Trigger. Now, for the first time, BIOGRAPHY® presents the complete story of the boy from Cincinnati, Ohio, who became the "King of the Cowboys." Home movies, film outtakes, and rare television clips provide a glimpse into Rogers's lightning rise to stardom. From his humble beginnings as a radio singer and guitar player to his place in history as a matinee idol, this is an intimate portrait of ROY ROGERS, quintessential American hero.
