Michael John Petty is a Senior Features Writer for Collider who writes mostly about Westerns but also loves superheroes and supernatural thrillers.
The Big Picture Sometimes, the Western genre can produce some real killers, and in the case of the 1954 musical Rose-Marie, that statement should be taken literally. That's right, this Western musical features a real-life killer, unbeknownst to the cast and crew. As one of Jimmy Stewart's earliest Hollywood roles , Rose-Marie is notable for a plethora of reasons. With strong performances, compelling drama, and some interesting behind-the-scenes tidbits, this picture has it all.
Release Date January 31, 1936 Director W.S. Van Dyke Cast Jeanette MacDonald , Nelson Eddy , Reginald Owen , Allan Jones Runtime 113 minutes Main Genre Musical Writers Frances Goodrich , Albert Hackett , Alice D.G. Miller Jimmy Stewart's Western 'Rose-Marie' Has Many Secrets If you haven't seen Rose-Marie, then you ought to give this black-and-white musical Western a shot.
But that wasn't the only big secret that the Rose-Marie set kept to itself, at least at first. The film's plot, which centers around impossible secrets, also alludes to the hidden life of one of the film's extras. Just as Jack, a criminal and a murderer on the run from the Mounties, attempted to hide from his past crimes, so too did film extra Robert Miller-Barr, who himself was on the run from the law.
