Ne'er-do-well Charlie "Dirtwater Fox" Malloy (George Segal) helps outlaws steal a cool $40,000, then runs off with all the money. However, he doesn't count on Duchess (Goldie Hawn), a burlesque dancer and prostitute who manages to trick him out of the cash. As the gang Malloy had double-crossed comes looking to retrieve their loot, the pair team up and engage in some wacky shenanigans, including having her pretend to be a real-life duchess, while gradually falling for each other.

Steve Warren The Barb (Atlanta) What happens to them along the way is of no consequence, but helps the time pass amusingly. Unfortunately they're not as funny in the picture as they were at the Academy Awards plugging it. May 9, 2023 Full Review Jas Keimig The Stranger (Seattle, WA) ...the first act, centered around a colorful 19th-century dance hall, is worth it, particularly for Goldie Hawn fans... Dec 9, 2021 Full Review Ruth Batchelor Los Angeles Free Press Goldie Hawn gets a chance to really do her stuff. Nov 18, 2019 Full Review Steve Crum Video-Reviewmaster.com Strained comedy and action do not a good film make, even with Segal and Hawn starring.

Bill P This is one movie that my wife and myself love to watch. We think its hysterical at times. The Critics need to loosen up. What they think whats bad, might be a excellent movie to someone else. Love George and Goldie together. Thought it was a great! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/28/23 Full Review steve d I didn't care about anything going on. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member True, it's not the greatest film ever made. But it is fun, cute, and I really loved it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member 72% "One day on, six days off."-Amanda Quaid AKA Bluebird Aka The Duchess (Goldie Hawn) Funny banter, specially the smucko bit, but not as funny as it wants to be. Ta, ta. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member (** 1/2): [img]http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/user/icons/icon13.gif[/img] Fun at times but, ultimately, it is a forgettable film. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Cute looks can't save this film. It was pretty flimsy even for its time. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Read all reviews
