A typical Bob Hope comedy made more interesting by the presence of the recently deceased Jane Russell.
Hope had the honor of singing Buttons and Bows, and the song went on to win the Oscar in 1948.
The premise of the movie is quite humorous. To get pardoned for her transgressions, Russell must find out who is smuggling guns to the Indians. When the agent assigned to be her husband is killed, she finds unlikely candidate Hope as an eastern-correspondent school dentist and quickly marries him.
Whoever made the costumes for Russell deserved some kind of award. In many scenes, she was made to look frumpy, far out of her usual realm.
The picture goes down in quality once she and Hope are captured by the Indians. Some real good straight shooting by Russell makes Hope look like the town hero. This is always good for a laugh.
