A patchy comedy-Western that reunited star George Segal and director Melvin Frank, after the success of A Touch of Class three years earlier. It sets out to spoof every Western convention in sight, with none-too-competent gambler Segal eventually encountering, but unable to conquer, saloon singer Goldie Hawn in San Francisco. How the pair land up together is too complicated to relate here but there are some gems: such as Segal and Hawn in a stagecoach, plotting and haggling in a Babel of languages, supposedly to confuse their Mormon fellow passenger; or when the pair land up unwittingly tying the knot at a Jewish wedding. And Goldie has rather a splendid ditty called Please Don't Touch My Plums.
