OhtheDeadwoodStageiscomin'upoverthehill (fortissimo). Doris, bless her, belts her heart out as the pistol-packin' tomboy who has to clean up her act when she falls for Wild Bill Hickock. Much spunkier than 'Annie Get Your Gun' and with better tunes, most notably 'Secret Love'. A fine musical comedy. find out more...

The staging of a musical, a romance, a bumbling private eye and a man who keeps wandering on with a pot plant for 'Mrs Jones'! is almost incidental to the speed, imagination and sheer craziness in a film that gives the Marx brothers a run for their money.
