    • Trivia
      James Stewart agreed to do the film and suggested to the producers that they offer the part of Harley to his good friend, Henry Fonda. Fonda read the script and agreed to do it but he had one suggestion. In the opening sequence, when the two ride to Cheyenne, his character had no dialog in the script. Fonda innocently asked to give his character something to say. The writer, James Lee Barrett, came up with the speech Fonda gives. For years after the film was released, the sign that hung in the club listing the names of the girls hung in Barrett's home as a memento.

    • Quotes

      John O'Hanlan: How much money do you want, Harley?

      Harley Sullivan: Fifteen or twenty dollars ought to do me.

      John O'Hanlan: What do you need it for?

      Harley Sullivan: Things.

      John O'Hanlan: Well, what kind of things?

      Harley Sullivan: Just-just things. You know, like a drink of whiskey if I wanted it, or a new shirt or something.

      John O'Hanlan: You already have two shirts. You don't want to wear but one of them at a time unless it's winter.

      Harley Sullivan: There you go thinking like a Republican again.

      John O'Hanlan: Well, you don't bring up politics while you're borrowing money, Harley. It ain't seemly!

    Stewart and Fonda are good, but...
    Is "The Cheyenne Social Club" a comedy or action Western? Director Gene Kelly tries to combine the two with very uneven results. Cowboy James Stewart receives a letter telling him that he has inherited property from his late brother so he starts out for Cheyenne along with his buddy, Henry Fonda. It is only after he arrives that Stewart finds out the Cheyenne Social Club is not a boarding house or saloon as he supposed, but, well, something else. Director Kelly plays up the discomfort Stewart feels being the not so proud owner and his futile efforts to close the place down, but most of the jokes in that vein fall flat. That is not to say we can't find humor as, for example, Stewart changing his politics when he fancies himself as a businessman, or Fonda cracking nuts at inopportune moments. Fonda's speeches as the credits are rolling are hilarious. Stewart listens politely until he can't take any more and finally has to tell Fonda to shut up. The movie is at its best when these two old pros are interacting with one another.
