Die Herberge zum roten Pferd

On the run after shooting one of the men who murdered his partner, Johnny Hart (Rod Cameron) stops in a remote saloon and meets vivacious singer Lorena Dumont (De Carlo). Tempers and passions flare, and Johnny and Lorena waken in the morning married and with a jealous outlaw after them. When Johnny is sent to prison for six years, he returns to find an embittered Lorena living with their young daughter.

Filmed in glorious Technicolor, this Universal studio Western stars Rod Cameron and the beautiful Yvonne DeCarlo who make a great pair with their love-hate relationship. The scene where Yvonne slaps Rod then gets kissed times four garners some face expressions from DeCarlo which shows her comic side. Frontier Gal is a light, romantic-musical western with sometimes a chauvinistic theme, but it's humorous and lively enough to overlook this. Well it's a comedy as well, bordering with slapstick. Frank Lackteen as Cherokee - Cameron's servant- is hilarious with his one line answers "How." And "you talk too much." The latter is directed to women.

Cameron's character can be a bit mean-spirited as he rejects his daughter, says he's not interested in being father, but the little sprog changes his mind with her cute charm and then takes the sprog away from his mother. But he soon learns the error of his way. Needless to say, there's not much action, it's not a typical western, but the opening sequence was great with Cameron dismounting onto a tree limb and the horse goes and hides In some bushes so the posse chasing won't them see him. Nice climax sequence that rounds things up neatly.

I love Western Movies, this was one great movie, it an oldies, but I wish every Western Movie lover to see this Movie, it was one of the first Movies in color.

this Movie concern a western cowboy, who the law was looking for , this guy after going to jail and getting out , return to see this good looking girl he had a brief affair with, the surprise was he did not know they had a daughter together, one of the surprise of this movie, this young girl { daughter }. really did a great job of action in this Movie, i highly recommend this Movie, but I do not think you will be able too, it an old classic.

I saw and forgot about countless western movies in my early years, but this is one western I recall vividly. (I picture it in Technicolor.) First, I remember fiery Yvonne De Carlo and cowboy Rod Cameron who came riding up to the establishment she owned. It was like the irresistible object encountering the immovable force. Their love-hate romance was unusual for any era, and would be almost unthinkable in today's films, but it worked for this out-of-the-mainstream movie. I've forgotten some of the details, but what impressed me most was their little girl and how she brought about the exciting conclusion of the movie and a strangely satisfying resolution to their love affair. This is one I'd like to see again, but it never turned up on TV and seems to have faded into oblivion. A pity. It was fun.

This is an atypical western. Here there is more humour than suspense, and humour of a timeless nature. When a man loves a woman, or vice versa, there are always trouble spots and the inevitable consequences of the loving union. Take the timeless difficulties between the genders and the mischief of their offspring and you have quite an entertaining and engrossing story. There is a thrilling ending to this romp in the west, and definitely some exaggerated but not politically correct philosophies that reflect the attitudes prevalent in the era when the movie was made. But it is all good fun!

Very atypical western,verging on slapstick farce ,with the longest slaps and kisses scene ever filmed .

She's the boss:Yvonne De Carlo runs the saloon and she reigns over men till a stranger comes .So begins an offbeat story ,part western ,with plenty of chases,part musical (even the daughter pulls her little tune ) ,part comedy .There are lots of domestic quarrels on an eventful wedding night,and it seems that the husband has the upper hand every time.An husband who has also got a straight bland fiancée who's got a "true" job (she's a teacher;says auntie:there are two jobs for a woman : one is respectable ,my niece's ,and one is scandalous ,yours!) These two ladies want the man to divorce Lorena .To make the matter worse,Lorena has also a suitor,a really jealous guy.

The movie is so-so but Miss De Carlo was a beauty and had plenty of go.
