Wild East Productions presents another double feature highlighting specific Euro actors this time involving actor Giuliano Gemma aka Montgomery Wood and we also have a double dose of Director Duccio Tessari who together with Gemma gave fans the two Ringo films at the beginning of the Spaghetti Western genre.

Public Cowboy No. 1

Rustlers using modern technology (airplanes, shortwave radios, refrigerated trucks) are Gene's target. Deputy Gene Autry rides to the rescue when modern rustlers use airplanes, short wave radios, and refrigerator trucks to ply their trade.

Man From Music Mountain (1943)

Singing cowboy Gene Autry and his sidekick Smiley Burnette star in this feature pitting cattle ranchers and real estate speculators. When it appears that there's gold on a ranch, a group of suspicious men begin selling claims in the local community. It takes Gene and Smiley to clear up the matter and save the day while also squeezing in a few songs, too. This is another of Gene Autry's many western movies aimed at a young audience.
