Die Herberge zum roten Pferd

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.

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.

Originally meant to be a vehicle for Maria Montez who didn't like the script - allegedly the spanking scene at the end - so the part went to Yvonne de Carlo, who thought that the spanking was 'cute'. The movie is fairly predictable in its taming-of-the-shrew type of rumbustious humour with plenty of fights and a prolonged spanking of our feisty heroine's pert bottom at the end, after which, of course, all is well. Well according to Western if not #MeToo. Cute performance by the child actress who manages not to be too annoying.

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!

This film essentially begins with a drifter by the name of "Johnny Hart" (Rod Cameron) riding into a small town and upon noticing a nearby saloon decides to go inside for a drink. It's soon revealed that he is after a man who killed his partner but before he can identify the person, he becomes involved in a brawl which ends with an attractive woman named "Lorena Dumont" (Yvonne De Carlo) hitting him over the head with a whiskey bottle. Although she initially wants nothing to do with him, one thing leads to another and to their mutual surprise they get married within a couple of days. Unfortunately, things don't go quite as planned and not long afterward he is arrested for murder and is sent to prison. The scene then shifts to six years later with him having served his time and heading back to the same town to, once again, find the man who killed his partner. To his surprise, although his wife expresses no feelings toward him, he soon discovers that their one night together has produced a daughter-and whether they love each other or not--this creates its own unique problem that both of them have to resolve. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this was a rather odd Western which had a decent plot but for some reason didn't seem to quite realize its potential. I say this because the musical and comedic aspects didn't seem to mesh that well with the overall action and drama. At least, that's how it seemed to me. Be that as it may, while this certainly wasn't a bad film by any means, I believe a more serious approach should have been taken and I have rated it accordingly. Average.
