Hollywood’s Golden Age was a time of prolific filmmaking, and nowhere was this more evident than in the Westerns. Tinseltown was a powerhouse of cowboy pictures, horse operas, and shoot-’em-ups, forging legendary movie stars in the process. Among the most iconic to emerge during this era were a duo made up of Roy Rogers, the “King of the Cowboys,” and his trusted sidekick, Gabby Hayes. Between 1938 and 1943, this dynamic pair appeared together in an astonishing 41 films, cementing their legacy as one of the most productive and beloved Western partnerships of all time. Other film pairings of the time, like John Ford’s legendary run of movies with John Wayne, or even Fords’ Movies with actor Harry Carey, were astounding in their own right, but none came close to Roy Rogers and Gabby Hayes.
