🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Director Robert Day constructs a comedy on the stark contrast between the hero's refined etiquette and the crude customs of the frontier. He explores this cultural clash for situational humor, relying on Kenneth More's charming performance as a fish out of water.

Those who tire of gritty westerns will find a clever parody where diplomacy trumps firepower. What lingers after the credits is the warmth of a well-executed, genteel farce. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Raoul Walsh
