Under a Texas Moon (film)

Under A Texas Moon is a 1930 American PreCode musical western film photographed entirely in Technicolor. It was based on the novel TwoGun Man from 1929 which was written by Stewart Edward White. It was the second allcolor alltalking feature to be filmed entirely outdoors as well as being the second western in color and the first alltalking allcolor western. The film features one theme song by the title of Under A Texas Moon.

The film survives as a single nitrate Technicolor print, copied by the UCLA Film and Television Archive.New York Latinos led by Gonzalo Gonzlez protested the film, characterizing it as antiMexican mainly because Frank Fay portrayed Mexicans as being liars and womanizers. Police brutalized the picketers, killing Gonzlez. The murder sparked a PanLatino protest, in which the Latino civil rights activist Luisa Moreno participated. She later told Bert Corona that the experience motivated her to work on behalf of unifying the Spanishspeaking communities. ........
