This color poster advertises *Springtime in the Rockies*, a 1937 Western that pairs singing cowboy Gene Autry with his comic sidekick, Smiley Burnette. Autry's mix of country-style songs and horseback adventure made him one of the most popular screen cowboys of the Depression years, and his films helped define the musical Western for Republic Pictures and its audiences. Posters like this one were designed to catch the eye of moviegoers at small-town theaters, where bold color and the names of the stars did most of the selling. Its mountain and cowboy imagery also reflects how Hollywood packaged the American West as a place of open land and simple music.
