The Goodnight-Loving Trail Produced by the Humble Oil & Refining Company in cooperation with the Texas Department of Public Safety, this film uses the story of cattlemen Charles Goodnight, Oliver Loving,
and their legendary trail to instruct viewers of the importance of highway safety. Travelers now cross these trails on four wheels, with no cattle in tow, but Goodnight’s original path from West
Texas to Fort Sumner, New Mexico still exists today, in the form of roads and highways. The film offers safety warnings for modern day travelers along the route, advising them to drive carefully
and not to drive while fatigued. Director of the Texas Department of Public Safety, Homer Garrison, Jr. concludes the film with a message urging viewers to obey traffic laws while on the state’s
highways.
Texas - The Big State “Texas has come to be accepted practically as the universal gauge of the ultimate of everything.” Commissioned by the Santa Fe Railway Company and produced by Dudley Pictures
Corporation, this film provides a sweeping overview of the state of Texas that supports that assertion (while maintaining a clear focus on the many ways in which the Santa Fe railway serves the
businesses and citizens of Texas.) The result is a snapshot of many Texas cities and industries in 1952 that includes iconic landmarks as well as images of less frequently filmed locales such as
Borger and Cleburne.
