An easy-going, good-natured comedy, which looks back with rosy-tinted affection at the Poverty Row Western film-makers of the Thirties and Forties. A very youthful Jeff Bridges is delightful as farm boy and aspiring pulp Western writer Lewis Tater, who becomes a movie stuntman after a run in with confidence tricksters. Equally good is the much underrated Blythe Danner, who triumphs over a conventional Girl Friday part as the script girl Lewis falls for in a big way. Sharp, witty and affectionate in turn, it's another offbeat goodie from director Howard Zieff, who struck box office gold with his later comedy Private Benjamin.
