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

Not so much a lament for the end of the West but for the end of the 1940s
11/15/09
To paraphrase the theme song, it looks pretty well shot in the end.
03/25/06
Shoots itself in the arse once too many times for its prolonged spoof to work smoothly.
04/19/08
Fast-moving and witty spoof of Western conventions from one of Hollywood's finest writer/directors of comedy.
01/26/06
Even a fair-to-middling Preston Sturges production is better than most comedies by other writer/directors.
11/12/07
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.
