Sons of New Mexico (B&W)

short description is not available

Not quite as memorable as his previous {#Riders in the Sky}, {$Gene Autry}'s {#Sons of New Mexico} is still well up to the star's standard. This time, Gene tries to reform Randy Pryor, a would-be juvenile delinquent, played by Autry-prot??g?? {$Dick Jones} (who later starred in the {$Autry}-produced TV series {#Range Rider} and {#Buffalo Bill Jr}). To this end, Pryor is enrolled at the New Mexico Military Institute, where much of this film was lensed. The kid chafes at the school's regimen and escapes, heading back to his criminal mentor Pat Feeney ({$Robert Armstrong}). Eventually, however, Pryor sees the light, and helps Autry bring Feeney to justice. Featured in the cast is another {$Gene Autry} contractee, {$Gail Davis}, who went on to star as TV's {%Annie Oakley}. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide.
