As far as old Western movies go, this is a good one.

It has a well thought out plot, not-so-corny dialogue, humor, romance, and action.

The movie is called Cheyenne, and it starred The Wyoming Kid.

It's really very good for a movie that was made in 1947.

Down below you can watch the trailer and read about the plot.

You'll see one of the two attractive ladies that starred in this movie entertaining a bar filled with cowboys.

The "lady" stands on a bar in what is supposed to be Cheyenne, Wyoming and sings about going back to old Cheyenne.

GOING BACK TO OLD CHEYENNE
I'm tired of roaming
And I should not left Wyoming
Like a bird I'm coming
Going back to old Cheyenne.

I've been a rover
But my rover's days are over
Let me live in sober
Going back to old Cheyenne.

I reckon, somebody there is still waiting
By the gating, if he's waiting
A second after I'm there we'll be mating
And I'll never never want to roam again.

By time I'm biding
Till the day that I'm deciding
That the trail was riding
Going back to old Cheyenne.

 

Wells Fargo stages are being robbed by 'The Poet' and no one can figure out who he is.

Wylie is a gambler who is found by the insurance company detective who gives him the option of going back to a questionable trial in Carson City or finding 'The Poet' for the stage line.

Wylie decides to look for the outlaw. He rides out on the stage with Ann and Emily to Cheyenne.

He soon finds that the Sundance gang is waiting for 'The Poet' so he impersonates him and finds that Ann is the wife of the outlaw.

Wylie is concerned about the gang, 'The Poet', and Ann.

Cheyenne is available to stream now on Amazon Prime.

Vintage Wyoming Movie Posters

I love walking down the hallway of a modern movie theater and looking at the old posters of vintage movies.

That got me thinking about old Westerns based on Wyoming. How many of those posters are still around?

Many are, and many are for sale online, if you want to decorate your home, or even home theater, with classic and mostly forgotten movie posters.

Most of these films were made before the era of television. Hollywood was cranking out these things as fast as they could.

The plots, the scrips, the acting, directing, and editing were SO BAD, they were good.
