This is a pretty powerful film with star performances to match. I usually don't care for flash backs, but don't give up on the film, the beginning does NOT give away the end. This isn't a Can't-Miss-Classic like Casablanca, but it's very well worth the watching. I gave it an 8.

I've seen a lot of good reviews of this movie and believed them. Believe me, they were wrong. Every Bette Davis performance is great, but that didn't save this film. It starts fine, humor and intrigue, and you figure a standard Davis classic. But it certainly doesn't last that way and then becomes soap opera sap! And not believable. No wonder Bette supposedly didn't like Miriam Hopkins, who is way overboard from beginning to end. I gave it a 5, simply because Davis is always worth seeing all the time.

This is yet another movie that is not on video and few have heard of that's well worth the viewing if you can catch it on cable. It's enough of western and musical to hold the interest of fans of both, plus good comedy thrown in. It's not too much of either western or musical to make the other seem out of place. Good numbers, good acting, funny lines all in 70 minutes and a chance for those not familiar with Western Swing to catch what that is. Ironically, the two best fight scenes include women. I gave it a 7, it's well worth the watch, much better than some 7's, well deserving and fun.
