I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
A Masterpiece!
It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
I must admit I saw it when it first hit the theaters in 1942 or so. I had a crush on Ray Middleton (being just out of high school) and saw it four or five times. It was very much a romantic comedy as well as a 'western'. You could take the plot and turn it into a romance novel. It was typical of "b" movies, not a lot of characters or locations but it was consistent. I wish it was available on DVD so I could enjoy it again. One of the things I liked was Ray Middleton being the hero. In a couple of others he played, if not the villain, the unlikeable other man. Hurrican Smith was fun. He had a great speaking voice and you can hear him sing as Frank Butler in Annie Get Your Gun, the original stage soundtrack with Ethel Merman.Oh, BTW I'm 81 years old.
