In the late 1930s, Gene turned down an offer of $3,000 to endorse a brand of cigarette.
There's Only One Love in a Lifetime
from Shooting High (1940)
Gene Autry serenades the window of his true love with the romantic song "There's Only One Love in a Lifetime" hoping to win her over in the 20th Century Fox film Shooting High (1940). If you noticed that Jane Withers (playing the little sister) refers to Gene as "Will" that is because he is playing "Will Carson," not "Gene Autry" in this film. "Shooting High" is the only movie Gene Autry made with 20th Century Fox.
