| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyA funny Western comedy in which Bob Hope plays an insurance agent who encounters the legendary criminal, with many cameos by Paramount's stars. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzA typical bumbling cowardly but heroic Bob Hope comedy, that's strictly for his fans who enjoy his pratfalls and the motor mouth's lame one-liners. |
| User ReviewMalinda NI love the old movies.They were simple and pleasing.Bob Hope is a nut and its a western theme so how can it go wrong.Enjoy! |
| User ReviewCJ CA Bob Hope Id never seen until now. Has some classic funny moments, but not as good as the more popular BHope flicks. |
| User ReviewJames HThis is an entertaining film, but rather average for a Bob Hope film. It is not up there with The Paleface films. Rhonda Fleming is bland, the jokes are not always that good but it is well produced and there are enough good things to keep the viewer happy. |
| User ReviewJohn AClassic Comedy About Bumbling Insurance Sales Agent Who Has Got A Miserable Sales Record, On The Day He Was Sacked He Sells An Insurance Policy Worth $100,000 To Outlaw Jesse James. His Boss Sends Him Out West To Protect James, Where James' Sets Him Up To Take The Fall For Him. A Typical Bob Hope Film, A Classic Comic Styled Western Comedy That His Fans Would Enjoy. The Film Is Dated & Can Be Considered Bad By Today's Standards. The Story May Be A Bit Boring But The Film Relies On The Comedic Talents & Performance Of Hope As Well As The Performances Of The Supporting Cast As Well As The Film's Comedic Scenes. An Extremely Well Made Classic. |
