- Who'll love it
- Made for music lovers and anyone who likes wide open spaces and slow-burning standoffs. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. Same wavelength as Mary Poppins or City Slickers. Dust, horses and a showdown waiting to happen.
- The mood
- Light and funny.
- The pace
- Light on its feet, at 1 hr 27 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1950: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.
A cowboy is hired by a stagecoach boss to stop the railroad reaching his territory and putting him out of business. He uses everything from Indians to dancehall girls to try to thwart the plan. But the railroad workers, led by a female sharpshooter and an ambitious salesman, prove tough customers.
