Review of The Paleface

The Paleface (1948)
6/10
THERE'S INJUNS IN THIS HERE FILM

Nowadays i feel i have to warn everyone who might be offended by stereotypical portrayals of American Indians, considering their ultimate fate in history.

That said, this is a 1948 comedy where every character's comic. If you're looking for sensitivity and nuance, this is the last place you'll find it. This is a classic spoof on classic westerns, and nothing's taken seriously, it's all for laughs.

Considered one of Bob Hope's best , he gets full reign to practice his personal brand of schtick. Gorgeous Jane Russell plays Jane, Calamity that is , with her typically brilliant "hard-boiled broad" routine

Oscar winning song "Buttons and Bows" is cute, but should have lost that year to Doris Day's classic "It's Magic"

Dumb Fun
