Down Mexico Way (1941)

Like 1940's Melody Ranch, the 1941 Gene Autry vehicle Down Mexico Way was designed as a "special", to be promoted separately from Autry's regular B-western series as an A-picture attraction. The story gets under way when a pair of con artists, Gibson (Sidney Blackmer) and Allen (Joe Sawyer), breeze into the town of Sage City claiming to be movie producers. The two scoundrels promise to film a movie in the little burg on the condition that the townsfolk pony up the necessary production fees.

The movie Down Mexico Way, released in 1941, features 10 songs from artists like Gene Autry, Gene Autry and Smiley Burnette and the Herrera Sisters. What is your favorite song from Down Mexico Way?
