Truly Dreadful Film
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
I must admit I saw it when it first hit the theaters in 1942 or so. I had a crush on Ray Middleton (being just out of high school) and saw it four or five times. It was very much a romantic comedy as well as a 'western'. You could take the plot and turn it into a romance novel. It was typical of "b" movies, not a lot of characters or locations but it was consistent. I wish it was available on DVD so I could enjoy it again. One of the things I liked was Ray Middleton being the hero. In a couple of others he played, if not the villain, the unlikeable other man. Hurrican Smith was fun. He had a great speaking voice and you can hear him sing as Frank Butler in Annie Get Your Gun, the original stage soundtrack with Ethel Merman.Oh, BTW I'm 81 years old.
