This week Craig and Rex look at Lou Gehrig's lone Hollywood film, "Rawhide" (1938), filmed in January 1938.

The film stars Gehrig (playing himself) and Texas native Smith Ballew (Palestine), Hollywood's first singing cowboy as the film's protagonists. Evalyn Knapp plays Gehrig's sister (part protagonist) and Ballew's love interest in the film. 

Errata: There is a car shown in the very first scene in Rawhide after all.

This movie is available to view on YouTube at no charge.
