series American Gagsters: Great Comedy Teams
Directed by Frank Tashlin
With Bob Hope, Jane Russell, Roy Rogers
In this wildly absurdist (and funnier) sequel to the hugely successful 1948 western spoof The Paleface, Hope (in arguably his best film role) stars as a cowardly frontier son, fresh from Harvard. While searching for his father’s hidden gold, he falls in with a sexy saloon singer/bandit named Mike (Russell). The endless stream of wacky slapstick sight gags are courtesy of former Warner Bros. cartoon animator Frank Tashlin (Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?), who co-wrote the script.
