What a waste of my time!!!

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

PENNY SINGLETON gets top billing in this diverting little programmer made at the height of her fame as "Blondie". This film, directed by the same man who did that series, has Singleton in her "Blondie" mode, as a prim and proper but ditsy blonde who acquits herself well when Indians are shooting at the carriage she's riding in during the opening scene.She's so prim and proper that she refuses to even engage in conversation with the man sitting opposite her in the coach--GLENN FORD--on his way to the town of Headstone to become its new sheriff.Ford has one of his rare comedy roles and plays it to the hilt. He's continually getting in the way of Singleton's pie-throwing finesse or taking a crack on the head with a pan, accidentally of course.ALLEN JENKINS, as a cowardly interim sheriff, ANN MILLER, as a dance hall gal, and CHARLIE RUGGLES, as Singleton's uncle, all give fresh and funny performances. Miller is especially good in a couple of her dance routines, including a sing-and-dance number with Jenkins that comes as a delightful surprise.Very enjoyable romp, it seems to borrow a lot of its material from other similar westerns. It features at least a half a dozen unpretentious musical numbers that make for easy listening.Summing up: One of Columbia's better programmers.

Penny Singleton (she's Bill) and Glenn Ford (he's Tex) arrive in the western town of Headstone. The town is terrorized by a "Killer Pete" (he wears a black scarf). Resident Ann Miller (she's local bad girl Lola) makes trouble. Will Lola get whatever Lola wants? Will lady Bill find love? And, who is "Killer Pete?" The film's highlight is a fight, near the end, between Ms. Singleton and Ms. Miller. Note the differing pronunciations of the word "posse" - AND, in a first-class wardrobe malfunction, Singleton accidentally rips open Miller's blouse. Other than that, the film may entertain friends and relatives of those who worked in the production. There are also some country & western musical acts, which could be a treat, if you're a fan. *** Go West, Young Lady (1941) Frank Strayer ~ Penny Singleton, Glenn Ford, Ann Miller

This is not a comment- rather, I would like to point out a goof: When Penny Singleton and Ann Miller are having their cat fight towards the end of the movie (incidentally, one of the all-time great cat fights) it really looks like those girls are belting each other), Ann Miller's blouse buttons and unbuttons during the scrimmaging.But, as long as I am here... This was a truly enjoyable western. Glen Ford is actually funny in this movie, and the relationship between him and Penny Singleton is very well developed and quite touching, in an amusingly innocent sort of way (inotherwords, exactly the opposite of most movies today). The rise of the townswomen to thwart the evildoers plans is also very well done.This is a rare western comedy that actually delivers some jocular moments. I've seen it three times, and enjoyed it all three times. And, if it comes on the Westerns Channel again when my boy is home from school or doesn't have practice or a game, We'll watch it together.It's just a fun movie. period.

A Fun movie that will leave you wishing it had been another 45 minutes. The fight between Ann Miller and Penny Singleton is astounding! Ann Miller's Dance scenes are very good, and there is even an appearance by Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys. Penny was a great talent and her vaudeville experience shows. This movie even includes Glenn Ford.
