Keep 'Em Rolling is a 1934 American drama film, directed by George Archainbaud from a screenplay by Albert Shelby Le Vino and F. McGrew Willis.[2] It starred Walter Huston and Frances Dee and the men of the U.S, Army's 16th Field Artillery Regiment.[2] Filmed partially at Fort Myer, Virginia, with then-Captain Harold W. Blakeley as technical advisor, the story revolves around a World War I field artillery horse named Rodney and his soldier, Benny Walsh (played by Walter Huston).[2] The movie is based on the short story "Rodney" written by Leonard Hastings Nason that appeared on January 21, 1933, issue of the Saturday Evening Post magazine.[3]
