Cukor never loses sight of the theatricality which infuses both the fanciful incarnations of the saltimbanques and the genre conventions of the Western

CinePassion

Strange mix of show-biz saga and Western, inventively styled.

Classic Film and Television

It's one of the rare Westerns that explores the barnstorming troupes in the Old West of the 19th-century.

Ozus' World Movie Reviews

More a comedy about showbiz that Western per se, Cukor's foray into the horseopera genre, based on Louis L'Amour novella, stars Sophia Loren as the leading lady of a troupe touring the frontier.
