Critic Reviews
-
Variety Staff, Variety
Preston Sturges plays his script [based on a story by Earl Felton] with frantic slapstick, stressing raw, bawdy comedy rather than genuine humor, to get the laughs.
-
Bosley Crowther, New York Times
To paraphrase the theme song, it looks pretty well shot in the end.
-
Fernando F. Croce, CinePassion
Not so much a lament for the end of the West but for the end of the 1940s
-
Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Shoots itself in the arse once too many times for its prolonged spoof to work smoothly.
-
, TV Guide's Movie Guide
Even a fair-to-middling Preston Sturges production is better than most comedies by other writer/directors.
