Son of Paleface
Why this pick

The Princess and the Pirate
Why this pick
Another Bob Hope vehicle built around a hapless comic hero, a formidable romantic partner, broad slapstick, and buoyant adventure plotting.

The Villain
Why this pick
This live-action Western cartoon embraces exaggerated chases, ridiculous perils, and knowingly old-fashioned genre jokes in the same playful spirit.
04
Support Your Local Sheriff!
Why this pick
A relaxed, witty Western spoof whose deadpan hero handles frontier clichés and escalating trouble with breezy comic timing rather than grit.
05
Cat Ballou
Why this pick
It pairs a spirited woman outlaw with a gleefully crooked frontier world, mixing broad physical comedy, songs, and affectionate Western send-up.

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
Calamity Jane (Jane Russell) is busted out of a sheriff's jail by a couple of Federal government of the United States under Governor Johnson (Charles Trowbridge) and Internal affairs (law enforcement) Emerson (Stanley Andrews). Johnson and Emerson wish to hire her to uncover white traitors illegally selling guns to an Native Americans in the United States near Buffalo Flats, one of the American frontier; since the agents they previously sent to investigate have turned up dead, they have conceived a plan to use Jane, both as a woman and skilled gunfighter, instead. In return for her services, Johnson and Emerson offer her a full pardon for her past crimes.
