The Girl Of The Golden West

Cowpokes from all around agree. Ain't nobody like Mary, the tomboy they call "the girl." She's as much at ease serving a slug of whiskey as she is trilling a tune. And when it comes to playing a hand of cards to save the neck of the bandit she loves, Mary does as any cowgirl would. She cheats. Saddling up for this song-filled sagebrusher are Jeanette MacDonald as Mary and Nelson Eddy as Ramerez, her gold-hearted desperado. But Sheriff Rance (Walter Pidgeon of Mrs. Miniver) turns the twosome into a triangle. He's got an eye for Mary and nothing would please him more than to hold a hanging for Ramerez. To its top-rate stars and songs, The Girl of the Golden West adds a buckboard of delights. Among them are Leo Carrillo as Eddy's sidekick and Buddy Ebsen (TV's The Beverly Hillbillies) singing "The West Ain't Wild Anymore." Maybe it ain't so wild anymore, but with MacDonald and Eddy it's a lot of fun!
