A rootin-tootin' funfest! Songs, dances, laughs and purty girls! Yippie-ti-yi-yo!

Overview

A spirited cast kicks up its heels in a lively musical spoof of cowboy films crammed with spur-jangling tunes by Jay Livingstone and Ray Evans and decked out with colorfully stylized, Oscar.-nominated sets. Rosemary Clooney heads up the high-kicking, red-gartered girls of the Red Dog Saloon. They can-can. but she won't-won't unless Jason (Jack Carson) asks her to get hitched. Guy Mitchell and Gene Barry are gun-totin' polecats who think they've got a feud to settle. And Frank Faylen and Buddy Ebsen are among the folks who hope the gunslingers get itchy fingered - so they can hold a town barbecue during the funeral!

“Red Garters” (1954) is a colorful set-bound Western parody/musical. It’s like "The Wizard of Oz” in the cinematic Old West, but without the fantastical elements and a focus on romance and quick-draw silliness, etc.

With a name like “Red Garte...read the rest
