Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe stylized sets were inspired by an article in "Life" Magazine about the western La Ville abandonnée (1948). The article showed the cast of "Yellow Sky" on sets that were clearly only false fronts, as are the sets in this film.
- GoofsDuring the Reb/Rapael shootout Reb's hat is hit and the front of the crown blows upward at the same time there is a small puff of smoke showing where the squib went off.
- Crazy credits[prologue] You are about to see a new kind of "western". We hope you won't take it too seriously, because our story takes place in a land that never existed, called, Limbo County, California.
- ConnectionsReferenced in Place the Face: Episode dated 11 February 1954 (1954)
Featured review
Its true, the plot is very thin. However this allows a viewer to focus on the dance numbers intricately woven into the rest of the film. Also, its star, who was, in fact at the peak of her first career, Rosemary Clooney,always helped lift the script when she comes on screen. Although the costumes are beautiful( designed by the famed Edith Head )the sets are bland, made that way to make it look like a smart Broadway production. The synopsis on the back of the cover is wrong, saying that Calaveras Kate tries to make Jason Carberry jealous with her involvement with Reb Randall. In fact, she tries to stop Reb and Rafael from killing each other and brings law and order to the county. Its a great movie, for all Rosie fans to experience...
