Jane Pritchard sides with the Carsons in a generations-old feud which her family wages with the descendants of Wild Bill Carson, first United States Marshal of Carson Corners. Will Carson insists that a Pritchard killed his grandfather when the Marshal came into town on a marauding expedition led by The Hawk. Will maintains his grandfather had joined the gang to trap the leaders and a trigger-happy Pritchard had kept him from doing so. A crew from Signet Pictures comes to town to film the story of Wild Bill's life. Will is in love with Jane's sister, Marjorie but her banker-father opposes the match. Will and Marjorie argue, and she becomes infatuated with Bob Merritt, who is to co-star in the film with Evelyn Trent. Jane and Sheriff Clem Perkle get rid of Merritt by telling him the townspeople are going to ride him out of town on a rail. Movie director J. Wallace Rutledge agrees to let Will play the role of his grandfather. On the day a bank robbery scene is to be filmed at Pritchard's bank, four supposed actors who have joined the troupe turn out to be bank robbers for real. The townspeople, seeing Will chasing after the robbers, assume he was part of the gang and has reverted to what they consider the character trait of the Carson family.
Jane is trying to get Will Carson and Marjorie Pritchard together even though the Carson Pritchard feud is still being fought. The feud is interrupted when a motion picture company arrives to make a picture about Will's grandfather. Jane gets the star to leave town so Will can have the part. But in the big bank robbery scene, unknown to Will, three masked outlaws have replaced the actors and the robbery is real.
Calling this an Autry Western is a bit of a stretch. Gene&#39;s in it, but his part is overshadowed by an over-emoting Jane Withers whose boisterous personality is, I think, a matter of taste. Then too, you may need a score card to keep up with the meandering plot that mixes a family feud with a town&#39;s survival with a love triangle with a movie shoot, and finally with real bank robbers. If this sounds complicated, it is, but despite the mix, the results are still pretty entertaining. The opening Autry-Withers duet &quot;Wanderers&quot; is delightful. Too bad we don&#39;t see more of Charles Middleton (Flash Gordon&#39;s Ming the Merciless) whose graveyard voice and Grim Reaper looks always made me cover my little-kid eyes back in matinée days.<br/><br/>This was a big studio production, Twentieth-Century Fox, which probably accounts for the odd mix, especially a cast that includes familiar Western types like Tom London and Eddie Acuff, but also city dudes like Jack Carson and Robert Lowery. For viewers interested in seeing how horse operas were filmed, this is an opportunity. Carson plays a fast-talking movie producer come to town to shoot an oater based on the town&#39;s most famous cowboy citizen. The behind-the-scenes look is fascinating and I&#39;m sure the crew got a kick out of filming &quot;a movie within a movie&quot;. But there&#39;s not much hard riding or fast shooting, so for fans of more conventional B-Westerns, this one may be a &quot;skip it&quot;.
I&#39;m sure Herbert J. Yates of Republic Pictures got a bundle for Gene Autry&#39;s services over at 20th Century Fox to co-star with Jane Withers in Shooting High. How he felt about being billed second to Jane is another story, but after all 20th Century Fox was her home studio.<br/><br/>Jane&#39;s the little sister of Marjorie Weaver who Gene is romancing. But the problem is that Gene&#39;s a Carson and Weaver and Withers are Pritchards. The Carsons and the Pritchards have been feuding for generations and that fact keeps the two lovers apart.<br/><br/>Gene&#39;s grandfather was a fighting lawman of the old west and a film company comes to town wanting to film a story about Grandpa. It will star Robert Lowery and Kay Aldridge and will bring a short wave of prosperity to the area.<br/><br/>It won&#39;t do me any good to continue, but things do work for the young people in the end as they inevitably do. <br/><br/>Things do get a bit silly here. Autry does well simply being Gene Autry at another studio. Withers plays a Miss Fix-It in a way to rival Deanna Durbin without singing a note. Jack Carson as the fast talking studio agent really stands out in the film. Saying Carson is fast talking is almost a redundancy.<br/><br/>A real bank robbery is worked into the plot giving Gene a chance to be a real hero. Shooting High is an amusing film and no doubt did well in the red state market.
