User Reviews

Kathie Browne Showcase

Young weak-willed rancher Thad (Carey) begs Paladin to get rid of his tyrannical housekeeper Lydia (Browne) since he hasn't the nerve to do it himself. He thinks she's demanding that he marry her in order to get a share of his wealth and the ranch.

A tongue-in-cheek entry like this is likely a matter of taste since it's played mainly for laughs. I liked it mainly because actress Browne is so good at being both a sharp-tongued shrew and a gorgeously coy femme-fatale. Her scenes with Boone are unusually engaging. Also, catch Paladin's tussle with husky ranch hand Clyde. When sheer strength fails maybe acrobatic deviousness will do. Good light-hearted fare.
