It’s only by the grace of its charming stars that this movie rises a notch above mediocrity.
I love Jean Arthur. That voice! Distinct… kinda nasal but not annoying… and intelligent yet unarrogant. And she’s cute despite not being a traditional forgettable beauty.John Wayne is relatively young here, still attractive and ungrizzled, and so he still makes for a good prince in this cowboy-meets-city girl fairytale. And the movie does start off that way – very charming and romantic – but of course it doesn’t last, since what kind of a movie would it be if the boy and girl lived happily ever after after 15 minutes.
So it’s too bad then that it goes downhill from there, when the couple starts encountering forced obstacle after forced obstacle and lame joke after lame joke. It’s only by the grace of its charming stars that this movie rises a notch above mediocrity.
I expected a John Wayne movie!
I thought I was going to see a John Wayne shoot-em-up western, but instead I got a fun black and white comedy. The only western action is in watching the rodeo scenes. John Wayne plays a total cowboy– he is stuck in his cowboy ways and loves his horse more than anything else. Although John Wayne’s character is prominent in the story, he is obviously not the lead. His character was there for Jean Arthur to play against. I will go as far as saying that the part of Duke Hudkins could have been played by another actor. Even without the John Wayne touch, the movie would have been just as good because of Jean Arthur as Molly Truesdale. It was a good role for Jean Arthur, and she made it the best it could be. This was her movie, and she got top billing.I love her voice!
