The Beautiful Blonde from Bashful Bend (1949)
Director: Preston Sturges
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Fast-moving and witty spoof of Western conventions from one of Hollywood's finest writer/directors of comedy. Grable is the crackshot chanteuse hiding from the law as a schoolmarm (after accidentally shooting a judge in the rear when two-timed by her lover Romero) and getting involved in the numerous shootouts between the local townsmen. It relies a little too much on zany slapstick, but the dialogue is sharp and the Technicolor photography by Harry Jackson adds a pleasant gloss.Author: GA
