I like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.

Good concept, poorly executed.
Myron Clemons
A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

I shelled out for this dvd more as a Sinatra completist than a seeker of a successor to Citizen Kane. Any Sinatra fan is aware that when he wants to be a serious actor he is more than capable, witness The Manchurian Candidate, but against that he has a low boredom threshold and a penchant for schoolboy humour that only himself and Dino, Sammy etc find funny, witness Four For Texas, Sergeants Three, etc. Dirty Dingus Magee is definitely in the Four For Texas/Sergeants Three category in fact you could describe it as a Clan movie without the Clan. For reasons best known to himself - he couldn't have needed the money given that Catch 22 has never been out of print - Joseph Heller allowed his name to appear on the credits as a co-screenwriter but clearly saved his A-game for novels. There ARE laffs but essentially this is a one-trick pony.

As l said before Sinatra is bad actor,but not unprovided of charisma,in this picture he bring a huge cast to share a silly but enjoyable western comedy of two dumb crooks,actually George Kennedy stolen the movie for your brilliant performance,a plenty of gorgeous woman raise to much especially the indiscreet Lois Nettleton as Prudence Frost and odd guys like Jack Elam and Harry Carey Jr. given the colors lights to the movie....delightful and silly but funny a little dated for nowadays.Resume: First watch: 2017 / How many: 1 / Source: DVD / Rating: 6.5

I consider myself well educated, articulate, literate. So loving this movie is a bit embarrassing. It is silly, adolescent, a little creepy (How old all the "leading men" are! And how young and voluptuous and willing the women!) But I loved this movie. I laughed all through it.Frank Sinatra is somehow simultaneously wide-eyed and leering as Dingus Magee. He never once gives any indication that he isn't taking this seriously. He plays it like a professional actor! And he does it well.George Kennedy is as professional. He knows that when you play a clown, you must never, ever be clownish. He gives a good, solid, straight performance of a ridiculous character. And when he is sworn in as the sheriff, the oath he takes made me laugh so hard I couldn't breathe for a while! Anne Jackson is always worth watching. Her turn as the mayor(madam) of Yerkey's Hole is delightful. She comes as close as anyone to winking at the camera, but she manages to maintain professionalism, and gives the movie her inestimable good work.Then there's the stunning Michelle Carey as (I am not making this up) Anna Hot Water. You now have her name. Need I say more? I have sometimes wondered if it was a law in Hollywood that you couldn't make a western comedy without Henry Jones and John Dehner. Throw Jack Elam in and you have a winner.Suggestive? Throughout? Profane? Never. No blatant sex, no nudity, no gore, the only violence is comic.Silly, stupid, a plot a 13-year-old boy would love.Yep. I really enjoyed this movie!

Yes. That's the whole movie. Sinatra tries (sometimes unsuccessfully) to have sexual relations with several Native American women. Meanwhile, the sheriff of a town full of prostitutes chases him around in search of buried treasure.Based on a true story.It has some funny lines, and there is slapstick to boot. Not a bad film if you really have nothing better to do with your time, but I wouldn't have paid money to see it when it premiered back in 1922 (even if it did only cost a half-penny for talkie). OK, seriously, this movie isn't that old, nor is it that funny. If you like westerns and Frank Sinatra, then maybe this film is for you.
