      s r Witty cute film I watched in my childhood. It may have been a first where I saw a woman turning down the man you want her to marry. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member 140822: Trying to discover what this style of western is called. It's very familiar and I've seen it called "light-hearted", I've seen it called a comedy. If it's a comedy, it's a soft comedy. The humour is there but it's light. There is a slap-stick like finale. Reminds me of the westerns from my youth. They're not violent action films like today. They're not crude. The word "quaint" comes to my. This film is enjoyable quaint and a bit fun. Well worth watching. Disney like, the 70s Disney I mean, not the Lone Ranger Disney. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Cute comedy with Debbie as a widow out west trying to make a place for herself and bring her children to live and ending up as sherrif. Helped immeasureably as always by having the great Thelma Ritter in the cast. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
