Featured review
none so queer as folk
The idea of the Wild West being a cure for homosexuality - and the film is unusually frank for the time in that respect - is not exactly very advanced but it is entirely typical of the Solax mix of quite cever ideas with rather crude plot development. Perhaps the most interesting aspect is not the way the West reforms the cissy but the reverse - the way the cissy beings an element of "caring" into the life of the Wild West in his motherly concern for Big Jim.
The film was also clearly an influence on one of Buster Keaton's most underestimated films Go West (1925). Not only does this feature the same notion of the "little gun" to indicate inferior manhood but also plays quite interestingly with the element of "caring" (Big Jim replaced by the cow) and uncertain sexuality (Keaton coems within an ace of choosing the cow in preference to the girl in a very neat double-take at the end of the film).
