I thought it was pretty enjoyable but nothing too great. Some good dance scenes with Charisse and the cowhands. Dan Dailey makes a poor stand-in for Howard Keel in my opinion. I like the idea of the set-up of the film, that they are lucky together and fall in love from the magic of the situation.

But the film's great weakness was that Paul Henreid's character was too flimsy to represent a believable romantic opponent for Dailey. Therefore the whole end portions of the film feel quite contrived. Also I think the music was not really very memorable or particularly well done. Still, not a terrible way to pass an afternoon or evening.

score 6/10
