Great cast, well acted family comedy western musical

Excellent, lovable film which I had never seen until recently on TCM. Hope is hilarious as always as well as being understated in a great acting way. He plays a dentist called Painless Peter Potter who has to get out of town on the hurry up after he pulls the wrong tooth of a customer. Enter Jayne Russell who needs a convenient way out of an equally awkward situation and they set off for the hills, not before getting married of course. Hope is hilariously out of his depth as a cowboy, providing many laughs with his movements as well as getting some of the advice given to him before a shootout wrong as usual. Arguably Bob Hope's finest film, he also sings the film's signature song buttons and bows, which is a great highlight. This is a must see.

I could only remember this film from seeing it on TV, generally on a wet Suday afternoon, so when I saw it for sale I wondered if I should just remember thinking it was funny rather than watching it again and being disappointed. I need not have feared. Of course there's none of today's special effects, and some of the scenery can look a little unbelievable, but when I watched it again with my thirteen-year-olds I found it every bit as funny as I had remembered and - wonderfully - my twins found it funny, too.

Not the best script ever, but a giggle throughout. Hope made a career out of doing things badly, including acting at times, but he has an engaging willingness to make a fool of himself for our entertainment - and that's what the film is, pure entertainment - with enough double entendres and prat falls for any veteran of the '50's light comedy genre. I've seen it dozens of times, but I can drag it out once a yeara nd watch it again quite happily. :)

Very good film by two good actors. Thank you.

Classic Bob Hope film....if you like Bob Hope then....!

Splendidly funny film! Bob Hope at his best, playing a thoroughly inept - and distinctly cowardly! - dentist in the Wild West. Jane Russell gives good support as his "romantic interest" who sorts him out! Highlight for me is Hope singing "Buttons 'n' Bows" whilst trundling along in a covered wagon. A great comedy Western, forerunner to "Son of Paleface", made a few years later.

Je suis très content de ce film car cela faisait un certain temps que je cherchais. J'ai mis la note cinq pour le vendeur car car ce film prévu pour le 14 nov est arrivé une semaine et demi avant bravo et merci

Un film umoristico e ben congegnato. Il set è costruito in modo efficace ed interessante. I caratteristi sono di alto livello, soprattutto la coppia Bob Hope e Jane Russell per le loro battute e le loro idee. Un western classico che si avvicina al film Cat Ballue di Jane Fonda (1965) per la modalità di come è girato. Bei scenari di un cinema che non esiste più. Consigliato a chi ama il genere umoristico-parodia del western.

I was enjoying this movie till half way though then it started to freeze frame by frames stop start then it completely stopped could not get to the end of movie, was so disappointed. I got a dud!

KENNE SEIT JAHREN UND KANN IMMERNOCH LACHEN-BOB HOPE IST SUPER

Bob Hope plays Painless Peter Potter, dentist, Jane Russell plays Calamity Jane who facing a prison term decides to go under cover to track those selling guns to Indians in return for a pardon. She is supposed to marry but finds out her partner has been killed. She escapes with Hope to find shelter in wagon train. Hope sings Buttons & Bows which won an Academy Award for best song. Great fun as the couple escape bad guys and Indians. 7 extra features. Excellent family fun for all. Classic Hope.
