In response to xxmoviemakerxxx, I wouldn't be at all surprised. When Roy was moved into Republic Studios, groomed to replace Gene because of a dispute he had with them, Roy and Gene talked - Roy saying he felt badly about it. Gen said he wasn't holding a grudge, that he'd have done the same. They remained on friendly terms. He, Gene, was a clean-living, PATRIOTIC , man of integrity and faith in God. As was Roy. Had Gene gone first, Roy would've mourned him. Now, the whole world mourns both. Jude
Being an RR fan (and Gene Autry 2d) since I was about 5 yrs old (1951 !) I DO know how it ends ! Gene wins, and then finds out Roy's character's situation, and, since this IS a couple of singing cowboys (tho Roy hadn't started starring as "Roy Rogers" yet), kinda forced/coerced Roy into yodeling for him. Later, they all sang a song together. Jude

@idacherasaroneal Absolutely. Legend has it that Gene went into mourning when Roy died.
