Trivia:

First film for The Ritz Brothers comedy duo since 1943. Originally conceived as a comeback film for The Three Stooges, which at this time consisted of Moe Howard, Joe DeRita and newcomer Emil Sitka. Howard died before production began, which was when the Ritz Brothers were brought in.

Goofs:

Continuity: A masked bad guy drives a Rambler sedan while chasing a truck hauling casino equipment. When the bad guy crashes, the car tumbling downhill while afire is a Ford Falcon station wagon, not the Rambler sedan.

Low-budget homage to '40s westerns; familiar cast is the only asset

BLAZING STEWARDESSES suggests a T & A movie, but it's a low-budget western which tries awfully hard to imitate horse operas of the '40s. Masked killers on horseback terrorize a western town, where girls mingle with guests at a dude ranch. Former cowboy stars Don "Red" Barry and Robert Livingston have character roles, and Yvonne DeCarlo has a featured role. Best scenes involve The Ritz Brothers (Harry and Jimmy), who offer comedy relief as ranch hands.

If you're looking for something sexy, this will disappoint you, but old-movie buffs and Ritz Brothers fans may give it points for good intentions.
