Rating: - Heldorado
The Roy Rogers anthology collections have good deal of overlap and that is how I discovered that a substantial portion of Heldorado had been edited out - I assume for the purpose of fitting several movies on a disk. In Heldorado's case, this gives the characters a kind of goofy maniacal quality that might make someone think they would make good subjects for Mystery Science Theater 3000. For instance, Dale Evans, a wealthy heiress in the movie, walks around at the beginning of the movie flipping a quarter like George Raft. Roy had tipped her the quarter when he mistook her for a hat check girl in a scene that was deleted but which set the stage for their relationship. Another scene that was deleted was a parade scene in the middle of the movie, much longer and more revealing than the one at the end, which showed downtown Las Vegas in 1946. It was fascinating but not for the purchasers of this collection. Those are but two of many annoying examples of this which made dialogue and continuity appear inappropriate and disjointed. I haven't checked any of the other movies for this but it is a flaw that makes it a poor buy to me. The movie in proper form is excellent - one of my favorites. I would purchase these if they were not available anywhere else - which many are.
