Blue Canadian Rockies (1952): cast, story & where to watch

Released in 1952, Blue Canadian Rockies is a western film directed by George Archainbaud, running about 58 minutes. “TIMBER! The bigger they come the harder they fall...as Gene and Champ crash through a maze of murder and mayhem on a dude ranch deep in the heart of tall timber country!” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. Montana ranch owner Cyrus Bigbee sends his foreman, Gene Autry, and Rawhide Buttram to his Canadian timber land to stop the marriage of his daughter Sandy to Todd Markey, whom he dislikes. Sandy wants to turn the property into a dude ranch, with Carolina Cotton and the Cass County Boys (Fred S. Martin, Jerry Scoggins and Bert Dodson) among the entertainers, and runs up against local timbermen who want it for cutting timber. When a Mountie is murdered, with suspicion pointing to Todd, Gene finds the real culprit and brings peace to the area.

Who’s in it. Blue Canadian Rockies stars Gene Autry as Gene Autry, Champion as Champ - Gene's Horse (as Champion World's Wonder Horse), Gail Davis as Sandra Higbee and Carolina Cotton as Carolina Cotton, among others.
