La taverne du cheval rouge

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.

Bad Man Rod Cameron is shotgun-married to saloon singer Yvonne De Carlo. After one night of honeymooning, he's arrested. When he returns from six years in prison, he discovers he has a five-year-old daughter.

Despite the usually sure comedy hand of director Charles Lamont, this movie annoyed me from the beginning, and my mood grew sourer as it progressed. Was it Cameron's one-note, offhanded performance? Miss De Carlo's I-love-you-don't-touch-me performance? The way plot points, like a daughter or a fiancee appears just as it is needed? Beverly Simmons' squeaky-voiced, I'm-a-cute-little-girl act? All those and more. At least Fuzzy Knight gets to show the reason he was known as an entertainer by playing the piano.

It's not enough. This was originally planned as a vehicle for Jon Hall and Maria Montez. Reportedly, Miss Montez, on seeing the script, refused the part. When the geniuses assigned the role to Miss De Carlo, they figured they didn't need Hall, and in the usual inspired manner, assigned Cameron as the leading man from SALOME WHEN SHE DANCED. Miss De Carlo doesn't dance, but she does sing, voice courtesy of Doreen Tryden.

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.

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.

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.
