America's first genuine country music 'multimedia' star Autry was more than a musician.John Wayne with a little bit of Sam Houston and Davy Crockett all rolled into one with a great singing voice and an ear for music added on. 1949 saw Autry's second film release for Columbia Riders of the Whistling Pines. As was customary for Autry the title refers to one of the songs heard in the film rather than the plotline at hand. The villains busy themselves destroying all the timber in a government forest preserve. When Autry steps in to stop the bad guys they cook up... a frame by accusing him of poisoning cattle. Jimmy Lloyd co-stars as an aviator who figures prominently in the action-packed finale. Autry's leading lady is Patricia White who later gained prominence on TV as Patricia Barry. [show more]
