Alice Moffitt:
Where is she...your woman?
Amos: I buried her. Had to...she was dead. Yeah, I come here one day and she was sittin' at the table deader than a can of corned beef. The poor old woman didn't even have a chance to finish her bowl of prunes. It hit me plenty hard, ma'am. But what come close to shakin' me was after I done finished diggin' her grave. I come in here to get her and she was all stiffen up...harder than a railroad tie. I had to bury her sittin' up! The poor old woman has to sit up straight and proper until judgment day.

'Poker Alice' is a fun film featuring Elizabeth Taylor as a poker player extraordinaire who delights in taking money off unsuspecting men in the the Wild West.
There's not much more to say about this film. It's funny, it's fun, it has brawls, guns, derring-do, a bounty hunter (Tom Skerritt), a Bible-bashing Puritan (George Hamilton), and a brothel full of prostitutes who can't read and who are scared of picking up the Good Book on a Sunday.
Taylor does well in a film that hardly stretches her, but gives her a chance to use that dimpled smile and little girl voice she's had at her disposal since childhood.
Amongst the support cast is Richard Mulligan (Burt from 'Soap') and Susan Tyrell; plus David Wayne, who had been a charming foil to bigger stars in 1940s films like 'Adam's Rib'.
