Arlene Dahl


Arlene Dahl is attractive as always. But why in the world would her character get out of her wagon and join a "dance" with all those drunken lonely cowboys? I thought for sure she was going to get raped and then she goes ahead & flirts, almost kissing the film's main villain.


The way I see it, is that we weren't retreating, we were just attacking in a new direction.

I saw that grotesque scene on TCM this morning and what amazed me was that some of the guys would accept to be ordered to act as women, even to be addressed as girls: remember you're a girl, sweetie, etc. I understand they are all drunk, more or less, and that the scene is comical, but does the square dance "womenification" happen just because some of the men are captive soldiers? I missed the events leading up to it, but I can't qĂșite get my head around how any Western tough guys would accept being put in a girl position except if it were at gunpoint.

There U guys go again, thinking this swill is real, true and more authentic than a Roman centurion's hardened bowel movement!

Reference is inscrutable because there is nothing to scrute.
