Full Plot Details

In 1890s Arizona, General Michael O'Hara, the O'Hara family patriarch, builds an opera house and sends for an opera singer from the East. Unknown to everyone, the Eastern theatrical agent substitutes a real but unattractive opera singer for his own niece who is stunningly beautiful but is no opera singer. Her name is Lillian Marlowe and her singing is more vaudevillian and saloon-like rather than operatic. The O'Hara family owns much of the land and cattle in the region. However, the two nephews of General Michael O'Hara, Lee and Grant, do not get along. Only one of them stands to inherit the O'Hara fortune, once the General passes away. The whole region fears a bloody feud between the two young cousins after the eventual passing of the family patriarch. To make matters worse, when the attractive opera singer from the East arrives in town, to fulfill her singing contract with the O'Hara opera house, the two young O'Haras fall in-love with her. Unfortunately, pretty Lillian Marlowe also falls in-love with Lee and Grant O'Hara and cannot make-up her mind which one she wants. Both O'Hara cousins are handsome, romantic, quick with the gun, and rich. A poor Eastern girl's dream come true. The two young O'Hara cousins start a feud over Lillian. The family patriarch, General Michael O'Hara, tries his best to keep his nephews from killing one another. On occasion, the old General has to resort to using his cavalry troops to keep Lee and Grant apart. The old man even tries to bribe Lillian with money to force her to leave town and return home back East but she refuses. Taking turns, Lee and Grant kidnap Lillian and propose marriage to her. Lillian remains vague and undecided. But with tension escalating between Lee and Grant, aided by their respective gunfighter crews, Lillian has to act. She promises to announce her final choice for husband, at a family meeting at the O'Hara ranch. The patriarch is also on hand to mediate between Lee and Grant. On arrival, Lee and Grant are deprived of their guns by the worried patriarch. However, the negotiation degenerates into a fistfight. Pretty Lillian saves the day by playing a little trick on her suitors.

User Review - 8/10 by Tamsin PA very intriguing movie. It's sort of what happened when someone took Ryonosuke Akutagawa's 'In a Grove' and made it into a lighthearted comedy. The story, like 'In a Grove', is told from four different perspectives, only three of them are unreliable. An opera singer arrives in town, and each of the three men telling the story has a different interpretation of her. One man claims her to be weak and fragile, having fainted into another man's arms, another claims that she was drunk and had a hangover, and a third claims that she was pretending to faint, and she was a fraud posing as an opera singer. And that's only the start of the conflicting stories. It's not like any other Western movie I've seen. The plot is a bit convoluted but give it a watch!

User Review - 6/10 by Bruce BThe Gal Who Took the West I watched this film on Netflix Streaming, a hard copy on DVD, doesn't seem to be on the US market. That's a shame because its not a bad film. I watched this film because it came off a list of Universal International Pictures, I started watching in 1949 time frame. A number of these movies put out by Universal International Pictures are no longer available and that to is a shame. There are many kinds of westerns, Spaghetti Westerns, Cowboy and Indian westerns, Good guy bad guy westerns, and old time serial type westerns, this movie doesn't fit any of those categories. This is listed as a western comedy and I guess it did have a funny part or two, but its just a good story, A opera singer comes into town, she is not your typical opera singer by no mean, not big boned, fat or big busted, no this women is beautiful, and two brothers who can't stand each other start a quarrel over her. Maybe should be a romantic western. 3 stars
