Fluentiama Perfect cast and a good story

Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Sanjeev Waters A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

dougdoepke Delightful slice of western slapstick from Columbia Studios. The humor is pretty broad, the musical numbers frequent, and the cast especially appealing. It's a really young Glenn Ford showing why a big, versatile career lay ahead; a tomboyish Penny Singleton showing why she was more than just Blondie; and bad girl Ann Miller (!) still tap dancing her way into our hearts. And mustn't overlook an outstanding supporting cast, e.g. Ruggles, Jenkins, Waffles. I especially like that Miller-Jenkins tap dancing number with her in cowboy boots and him tripping the light fantastic. Oh yeah, the plot's something about a masked bad guy terrorizing the town. Turns out it's a town bigwig, just like in a kid's western. But who cares since that's just a way of stringing together the other, better elements. I'm not sure who the intended audience was since the result is neither a kid's matinée nor an A-production (the guys ride around greater LA). I doubt that the audience was ever found since the release date was right before Pearl Harbor! Anyway, for me the 70-minutes came as a pleasant surprise, though that opening stagecoach chase seems an unnecessary body-count. Nonetheless, the music's delightful and the acting appealing, so there's a lot to like in this unheralded Columbia production.

movingpicturegal Rip-roaring Western-Musical that is fast-paced fun all taking place in the small Wild West town of Headstone where a bad man known as "Killer Pete" has killed four previous sheriffs and regularly ransacks the town of it's loot. Enter the new sheriff, a handsome bloke named Tex Miller (Glenn Ford), and the new gal about town, Belinda "Bill" Pendergast (Penny Singleton), just arrived from the east where she attended a "young ladies seminary" and, oddly enough, can out-handle most men with a gun. Tex and Bill met on the wagon into town, shot some Indians on the way in, and soon are thinking about getting married - except she can't stop accidentally throwing pies in his face. Meanwhile Bill moves in with her Uncle who lives above the saloon/dance hall and gets into some tussles with saloon dancing girl, Lola (Ann Miller).With entertaining musical numbers featuring singing cowboys, a Barbershop quartet, Ann Miller performing a tap-dancing number on top of the bar, Allen Jenkins as a somewhat cowardly deputy who also sings and a dances (a little) - - not to mention a knock-down, drag-out, full-fledged "cat fight" between the two women, a big finale where the women of the town get the best of some bad men via the use of mops, brooms, and a big cast-iron frying pan, and Glenn Ford at the peak of his most young and gorgeous here, this proves to be a pleasantly fun and humorous watch.

wes-connors Penny Singleton (she's Bill) and Glenn Ford (he's Tex) arrive in the western town of Headstone. The town is terrorized by a "Killer Pete" (he wears a black scarf). Resident Ann Miller (she's local bad girl Lola) makes trouble. Will Lola get whatever Lola wants? Will lady Bill find love? And, who is "Killer Pete?" The film's highlight is a fight, near the end, between Ms. Singleton and Ms. Miller. Note the differing pronunciations of the word "posse" - AND, in a first-class wardrobe malfunction, Singleton accidentally rips open Miller's blouse. Other than that, the film may entertain friends and relatives of those who worked in the production. There are also some country & western musical acts, which could be a treat, if you're a fan. *** Go West, Young Lady (1941) Frank Strayer ~ Penny Singleton, Glenn Ford, Ann Miller

dallen775 This is yet another movie that is not on video and few have heard of that's well worth the viewing if you can catch it on cable. It's enough of western and musical to hold the interest of fans of both, plus good comedy thrown in. It's not too much of either western or musical to make the other seem out of place. Good numbers, good acting, funny lines all in 70 minutes and a chance for those not familiar with Western Swing to catch what that is. Ironically, the two best fight scenes include women. I gave it a 7, it's well worth the watch, much better than some 7's, well deserving and fun.
