Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

A comparatively attractive Disney comedy, set in Californ-i-ay in the 1870s, about a professional gambler lumbered with three orphaned children. The traditional ingredients of homely moralising, sentimentality and raucous slapstick are used sparingly, the dialogue is fairly bright, some visual gags are neatly executed, even Knotts is bearable, and Susan Clark makes an auspicious Disney debut as the Calamity Jane-type heroine.
