Purple Sage in the Twilight
from Under Fiesta Stars (1941)


As the sun sets in the West, Gene serenades his friends with the beautiful Western tune "Purple Sage in the Twilight" from the Republic Pictures film Under Fiesta Stars (1941). That's Frank Darien, Carol Hughes, Joseph Strauch, Jr., Pauline Drake, and Smiley Burnette serenely listening to the Singing Cowboy.
