If you are looking for the best quality Roy Rogers DVDs available, they are the Happy Trails Theatre versions of the movies that are available on GoodTimes and/or through the Roy Rogers Museum's website at www.royrogers.com BTW, not all of his movies are on restored DVDs yet, but may eventually be released as well.
Thanks for the tip, Bradley. As bad as a lot of Goodtimes product is, every so often they license something from people who actually own decent quality elements. Another example is their release of "Airport" in anamorphic widescreen. Regards,
I have discovered that the Roan DVD called "The Roy Rogers Collection, Vol. 1" claims to have have a restored version of "King of The Cowboys."
The list of upcoming Roy Rogers DVDs from GoodTimes has the following titles: Gay Ranchero Springtime In The Sierras Far Frontier Sunset in the West Trigger Jr Arizona Kid Young Buffalo Bill Under California Stars Days of Jesse James Young Bill Hickok Sunset in El Dorado the ones currently available on GoodTimes are: Twilight in the Sierras, West of the Badlands (also titled Border Region), Sons of the Pioneers, South of Caliente, Jesse James at Bay, North of the Great Divide, Bells of Coronado, Down Dakota Way, Robin Hood of the Pecos, Along the Navajo Trail Estate authorized DVDs only available through the Museum are: Song of Nevada, Sunset Serenade, The Ranger and The Lady, Bells of San Angelo, San Fernando Valley, Saga of Death Valley so e-mail the Roy Rogers estate at [email protected] to allow GoodTimes to release these restorations in stores.

Roy and Trigger are pretty fun to watch in the Bob Hope/Jane Russell movie "Son of Paleface," also available on DVD.
