Gene Autry's Birthday Celebration at the Autry Museum
Gene Autry YouTube Clip of the Week
Posted April 22, 2019
Seventy-nine years ago this month Gene Autry's film Shooting High was released by 20th Century Fox. It was a special movie because star Jane Withers was such a big fan of the singing cowboy that she requested Gene star in one of her films! It's also unique because Gene is playing "Will Carson," not "Gene Autry." Champion is still named Champion and seems happy to have his owner sing the romantic ballad "There's Only One Love in a Lifetime."
