Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Right up the alley of anyone who likes a story with a soundtrack worth keeping and western fans. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. Shelve it next to Blazing Saddles or Another Cinderella Story.
The mood
Easygoing.
The pace
Never drags, at 1 hr 9 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
Made in 1944: an older pace and style.

In this tuneful western, two curious actresses head West to find out the name of their secret admirer. Songs include: "Amor", "Hey Mabel", "By the River Sainte Marie", "She Broke My Heart in Three Places", "When It's Harvest Time in Peaceful Valley" and "There'll Be a Jubilee".
