An outstanding and irreverent comedy. Lots of belly laughs! Cannot understand why it is not available on DVD yet? Even though that pretty well sums up what I have to say, more is necessary if I want this to appear, so here goes.Marvin, Reed, Crenna and Lenz all have a gift for comedy that was not always appreciated. Lenz is at her most fetching and can light up the screen and steal scenes, even from such veteran actors. Amazing also the way the old West stuff is still so applicable to modern life. Guess the dynamics of human nature and the relationship between men and women never change much. People a hundred years from now could watch this film and get the same laughs as the same absurdity in human situations will still exist then.

I was 11 when I saw this in the theater...it was my first R-rated movie. (Thanks Mom!) I remember laughing to the point of tears.Years later I saw it again on TV, and part of it on cable, and it was as funny as ever. Watching it as an adult I can recognize its silliness and dated comedy, but it was still fun.Rent the un-cut version, as the swearing by some of the characters is pretty important to their personalities.

Less than hilarious but still amusing, well-cast comedy western. Kay Lenz is endearing as a prostitute in love with Marvin, who's in his usual ornery mode. Reed is funny but can't convince in a long straight wig as a half-breed indian. He's given some raucous lines to deliver, and does it straight. Endearing characters, mediocre story script and direction.

If you liked him as a comedian with Jane Fonda in Cat Ballou, >you'll like him even better with Kay Lenz. Also with Oliver Reed >(Doyle Lonegan in Sting II) as a half-breed. Robert Culp plays >the same guy he always does. You will, however, keep expecting >Strother Martin to comment any minute, "What we have here is a >failure to communicate." Five Stars out of five.
