How is it possible that I had never heard of this movie classic?

I'm guessing (assuming) you have watched it. But, I have to ask anyway. Have you watched it?
And, was it in some coincidental way related to someone living, or dead?
Thanks

I have not watched this.?ÿ The title is what hit my funny bone.?ÿ I do know the only location shot in the State was in Kansas City, Kansas.?ÿ That is as non-typical of the State as a whole as possible.?ÿ Their path appears to have followed Interstates and other major routes instead of wandering off through scenic, pastoral settings.
In the late '40s Roy Rogers starred in a B&W movie named "Home in Oklahoma".?ÿ It had all the usual suspects; Gabby Hayes and The Sons of the Pioneers.?ÿ Of course there was a pretty heroine, a shootout and a "jump-on-the-train-car-from-Trigger-to-get-the-bad-guy" scene.
The setting was an imaginary town in Oklahoma named "Hereford Heaven".?ÿ Some of the scenes were shot near Byars, OK for access to a sleepy stretch of railroad.?ÿ There are also some scenes that include some sandstone buffs.?ÿ After a bit of research I found they were probably filmed near Sapulpa, OK as there are no bluffs or canyons anywhere near Byars.
Saw most of a good movie that should have been filmed in Oklahoma, but wasn't.?ÿ It was a 1956 Western featuring Ralph Bellamy, Gloria Talbott and a very young actor named Jim Garner.?ÿ This was probably the first significant role for Garner as he had only small roles in the five or six other shows before this in 1955-56,?ÿ The title was Under a Texas Star.?ÿ Garner and his cavalry group were to escort the newlyweds Bellamy and Talbott across Indian Country to reach Texas safely.
