Trivia
The music for 2 of this film's songs was written by Albert von Tilzer. He is better known for being the composer of baseball's most famous song, "Take Me Out to the Ballgame".

Goofs
The final scene begins with a close-up of Lou Gehrig in slippers putting his feet up on the porch. In the next shot (and the rest of the scene), he is wearing boots.

Quotes
First Reporter: I'll bet you a new suit of clothes you'll be in Florida for spring practice.
Second Reporter: Aw, just wait till the old season starts. You'll miss the crowds and the cheering and the excitement.
Lou Gehrig: That's just what I want to get away from. I've had all of that. I'm going to wallow in peace and quiet for the rest of my life. I'm going to hang up my spikes for a swell old pair of carpet slippers.

"What kind of a country is this anyway?"

Amusing western starring baseball legend Lou Gehrig. The Iron Horse plays himself in this as he heads Out West to live on his (fictional) sister's ranch. There he joins forces with singing cowboy lawyer Smith Ballew to battle perennial heavy Cy Kendall and Arthur Loft, who have a nice little protection racket going. Fun stuff, although not always for the right reasons. Simple coloring book-level of intellect and craftsmanship went into this, but I can't say it isn't entertaining in its way. It's a low budget oater with a baseball player as the star. No one should expect Stagecoach.
