Shoots itself in the arse once too many times for its prolonged spoof to work smoothly.

Preston Sturges plays his script [based on a story by Earl Felton] with frantic slapstick, stressing raw, bawdy comedy rather than genuine humor, to get the laughs.

Top Critic Even a fair-to-middling Preston Sturges production is better than most comedies by other writer/directors.

To paraphrase the theme song, it looks pretty well shot in the end.

Top Critic Fast-moving and witty spoof of Western conventions from one of Hollywood's finest writer/directors of comedy.

This musical western burlesque looks slightly better today, but its still more energetic than funny.
