Cowboy From Brooklyn on DVD

Wyoming Steve Gibson has wavy hair, a pleasant tenor and a really neat cowboy outfit. He's sure to hit it big as Hollywood's next Singing Cowboy, as long as nobody figures out Wyoming Steve is really an East Coast city slicker who's scared silly by animals (even gophers). Backed by a stable of '30s screen favorites - Pat O'Brien, Priscilla Lane, Ann Sheridan and up-and-comer Ronald Reagan - Dick Powell saddles up for comedy and song as the Cowboy from Brooklyn. The faux buckaroo manages to pull off the ruse until he's challenged to ride in a Madison Square Garden rodeo. On a horse! What's a terrified tenderfoot to do? Full of sprightly songs by lyricist Johnny Mercer and melodists Richard Whiting and Harry Warren, this playful spoof was remade in 1948 as Two Guys from Texas, starring Dennis Morgan and Jack Carson.
