Saloon-bar singer Freddie gets very angry whenever boyfriend Blackie seems to be playing around. She always packs a six-shooter, so this is bad news for anything that happens to be in the way.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its humor from the clash of archetypes: a gun-toting saloon singer turned schoolmarm in a lawless town. It relies on rapid-fire misunderstandings and visual gags, with Sturges orchestrating the chaos with a keen eye for satire.

Those who tire of ponderous plots will find delight in this whirlwind of mistaken identities and cartoonish showdowns. What lingers after is the sheer joy of its unapologetic silliness. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Preston Sturges
