Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Best for people who need a good giggle and western fans. Low effort, high reward: just press play. Sits nicely alongside The Ballad of Buster Scruggs or Blazing Saddles.
- The mood
- Light and funny.
- The pace
- Breezy, at 1 hr 9 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1962: an older pace and style.
- Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.
Western-themed sexploitation romp combining Jerry Shafer's unreleased nudie cutie The Wide Open Spaces with Francis Coppola's student short The Peeper. In a Sunset Strip burlesque club, a miner and a moralist plot an explosion at midnight, sharing tales of desire and hypocrisy as they drink and watch the show.
