Well, it starts well, but slows down and becomes little more than a poor romance with little to do with the supposed real person. Extensive extracts from the wild west show (said the be accurate) look good, and are fun, but add little to the story.
Good points? a) It's got Barbara in it , b) They don't sing. 7 years 8 months ago -

I'm glad I watched Annie Get Your Gun before watching this, because I enjoyed this one much more. Three things I couldn't stand about AGYG were NOT in this one: 1. From AGYG: Howard Keel's operatic singing, 2. The love interest (Frank Butler in AGYG and Toby Walker in AO) is not a total douchebag, and 3. The romance isn't completely built on a chauvinistic view (in AGYG, the total douchebag can't be with Annie as long as she's a better sharpshooter).
For a 1935 western romance, I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Although, I was hoping for more rough and unrefinement from Stanwyck, but we only get a tiny taste of that during her first match with Toby. That would be my biggest complaint. Oh well, at least it wiped the painful memory I had of Annie Get Your Gun, and the finale with Sitting Bull had some very funny moments. 3 years 11 months ago
