Visualizing the convergence of George Archainbaud's style and the core Romance narrative.
Sergeant Benny Walsh, a U.S. Army artilleryman, and his horse, Rodney, share a kindred spirit that is sympathetic to each other's needs. After years of service to his country, Sergeant Walsh, stationed at Fort Myer, Virginia, requests permission to re-enlist for the few months he needs that will qualify him for his-earned retirement pension. The request is denied by a self-styled efficiency expert who also tags Rodney for the glue factory in the process.
Decades after its release, Keep 'Em Rolling remains a vital piece of the cinematic puzzle. Its influence can be seen in countless modern works, solidifying George Archainbaud's status as a master of the craft in United States and beyond.
