RICHARD S @RT70538590 02/06/2025 A big screen extravaganza that almost bombs, but not quite. Wonderful performances, great scenery, excellent production values EXCEPT terrible script. The lovely Ann Blyth (always a joy to see) sings beautifully, but speaks with an embarrassing French (?) accent all the way through. Her lines are written as if she were an Indian squaw back in a 1940s western. A potentially good story line, but poorly written to make you want to turn it off. But the experience of seeing this wonderful cast, even in something this poorly written, is irresistable: Howard Keel, Ann Blyth, Fernando Lamas, Marjorie Main. Keel's voice is perfect, and Lamas' singing surprisingly mature and full.

Despite these trimmings - plus some lovely singing by Blyth, Keel and Lamas - the film failed to excite.

There is also the usual '50s misrepresentation of native american cultures. See more Read all reviews
