      Audience Member Low key western from writer director Burt Kennedy about Buddy Ebsen arranging a marriage for the son of a deceased friend. The son goes along with the marriage and the film proceeds with a nice mix of comedy and sentiment, although the finale seems a rather blatant rip off of the far superior "Ride the High Country." Warren Oates, Paul Fix, Marie Windsor, Denver Pyle, Kathleen Freeman and my all time favorite character actor William Smith all also appear in the film. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
