 Have been waiting for this one! November 17, 2008

This is my all-time favorite silly movie. Great lines abound. Anyone who watches this without belly laughs needs to see a shrink.

 Funnier than it should be, considering its age July 18, 2008
LGwriter (Astoria, N.Y. United States)
Although made a whole bunch of years ago (1972), this holds up remarkably well as a comedy, no doubt due in large part to the fact that it was co-written by none other than Gary Marshall, the genius behind Big with Tom Hanks, among other great American comedy films. The casting is perfect; John Astin flashes his teeth a lot as the title character, which is appropriate, and Mickey Rooney is on hand as the stereotypical rich greedy RR tycoon out to take over the entire territory.
Also here are Milton Berle (!) as the owner of a shoe store, Edie Adams as Flossie (half the time called "Floozie", for good reason), Penny Marshall in a small role as a bank teller, and Henry Gibson as Mickey Rooney's numbskull nephew. The "funny boy" bits are hilarious, but there's a lot of other stuff here too that's just as funny. The ending is a real hoot.
Roy's the ultimate Western bad guy--gang and all--but inside he has a heart of gold. Kind of. At least that's what his lady love (Pamela Austin) firmly believes. He tries to go straight to please her, but dag nabbit, just can't do it. His attempts in the shoe store are truly funny.
Lots of fun, and definitely recommended.

It may have begun as a mere Movie of the Week, but it ended up as a marvelous stand-alone comedy film; one of Garry Marshall's best!
The scene where Evil Roy has to figure out how a shoe horn works in the civilized world is alone well worth the price of admission.
Sparkling dialog, fantastic sight gags, and a surprisingly sympathetic villain who wants to finally quit being an cruel bank robbing outlaw so that he can marry the beautiful newfound-love-of-his-life, the town's virtuous school marm. He discovers to his dismay that reformin' ain't quite as easy as it first may appear; it takes a heap of work.
The cast is outstanding--John Aston, Edie Adams, Mickey Rooney, Milton Berle, Dick Shawn, Henry Gibson, Dom DeLuise, Ed Begley jr, Pat Morita and in a wonderful cameo, Penny Marshall. With a multi-talented group of character actors, directed by Jerry Paris from a script written by Garry Marshall and Jerry Belson, who can avoid falling head-over-heels madly in love with this film?
And after all these years of anxious waiting, it's finally available on DVD. A heartfelt tip of the hat to whoever it was that chose, after all these years, to once again place it in the hands of a grateful public.
