fun and rollicking western

'Poker Alice' is a fun film featuring Elizabeth Taylor as a poker player extraordinaire who delights in taking money off unsuspecting men in the the Wild West.

There's not much more to say about this film. It's funny, it's fun, it has brawls, guns, derring-do, a bounty hunter (Tom Skerritt), a Bible-bashing Puritan (George Hamilton), and a brothel full of prostitutes who can't read and who are scared of picking up the Good Book on a Sunday.

Taylor does well in a film that hardly stretches her, but gives her a chance to use that dimpled smile and little girl voice she's had at her disposal since childhood.

Amongst the support cast is Richard Mulligan (Burt from 'Soap') and Susan Tyrell; plus David Wayne, who had been a charming foil to bigger stars in 1940s films like 'Adam's Rib'.

Delightful But Not Accurate

If this had been written with fictional characters under a different name, I would have agreed with everything the previous reviewer said. It was a fun western to watch and Elizabeth Taylor did well in it and by going to TV, she extended her career for about another ten or so years. As for George Hamilton, he is hard to evaluate since he has made himself one of those celebrities who is famous for being famous and seems to not care much about acting. Please don't get me wrong, when he decides to be serious about he is very good but he seems to just act when he has nothing better to do. He obviously does not need the money. He is one of those actors who was great when he was hungry. I guess he is retired now and I wish him a very happy retirement.

Elizabeth Taylor's Poker Alice was nothing at all like the real Poker Alice and the writers should have done their homework or found another character for Ms. Taylor to do. I invite anyone reading this to google Poker Alice at find the real one. The real Poker Alice was a very interesting character in her own right and a movie should be made about her. She was a very tough and saucy lady and a successful businesswoman. Susan Sullivan played Poker Alice in the series The New Maverick and was more like the real Poker Alice than Ms. Taylor with no disrespect for Ms. Taylor

Citações
Alice Moffitt: Where is she...your woman?
Amos: I buried her. Had to...she was dead. Yeah, I come here one day and she was sittin' at the table deader than a can of corned beef. The poor old woman didn't even have a chance to finish her bowl of prunes. It hit me plenty hard, ma'am. But what come close to shakin' me was after I done finished diggin' her grave. I come in here to get her and she was all stiffen up...harder than a railroad tie. I had to bury her sittin' up! The poor old woman has to sit up straight and proper until judgment day.
