This is a typical Eddie Dean singing western churned out by PRC. Eddie and his pals Soapy and Waco deliver a herd of a cattle to a rancher, only to find a young lady in charge of the ranch, her father and brother having been wounded by rustlers. The Eddie gang decides to hang around and help smoke out this bad guys.
Watch for a real young Hal Smith playing Mr. Tucker, the salesman. This was about 13 years before he started playing town drunk Otis Campbell on The Andy Griffith Show. He looks different that there's no mistaking that familiar voice. This was a good role for Hal.
Shirley Patterson plays Terry Lawrence, the female star of "Stars Over Texas." Shirley retired to raise a family from 1947-1953 but then returned to acting under the name "Shawn Smith." She appeared in several six-fi flicks. But, in 1958, she suffered a badly broken leg in a skiing accident at California's Big Bear mountain resort. This led to her permanent retirement from acting. Shirley was a beautiful and talented actress.
Eddie Dean came along at the tail end of the singing cowboy movie era. He had a great voice and sings several songs in "Stars Over Texas." He never became as popular as many of the other singing cowboys. Eddie was never a great actor but his singing was always a pleasant addition to any movie he appeared in.
I'm watching "Stars Over Texas" right on on the Encore Westerns Channel. It's a good enough musical b-western and Shirley Patterson looks great in a cowboy hat and jeans. Watch this one if you get the chance.
