Is it for you?

Who'll love it
If you count yourself among music lovers and western fans, this one's for you. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. Shelve it next to Blazing Saddles.
The mood
Easygoing.
The pace
Moves along nicely, at 1 hr 2 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
Made in 1946: an older pace and style.

Starring Ken Curtis and the hayseed singing group the Hoosier Hot Shots, this musical Western is really Lady for a Day with a switch in gender. Rotund Guy Kibbee is Dusty Nelson, the handyman at the Bar B dude ranch, whose daughter Susan is arriving with her socialite fiancee, Jerome Winston. Susan believes her father owns the ranch, and to spare Dusty any embarrassment, the Hot Shots, ranch manager Curt Durant and sidekick Big Boy Stover agree to continue the deception.
