The citizens of Buttonhole Bend live in a constant state of fear thanks to the "Butcher" Baer gang, which has robbed every bank and kiIled every sheriff in the territory. What they don't know is that Butcher takes his orders from "Square Deal Sal," the sultry saloonkeeper who's as brainy as she is beautifuI. When wandering cowboy SkipaIong RosenbIoom arrives in town and is promptly tricked into becoming the new sheriff, Butcher measures him for a pIot in Boot HilI. But perhaps SkipaIong isn't as dumb as he Iooks...
lnspired by the phenomenaI success of the oId Hopalong Cassidy movies broadcast during prime time by the NBC network in 1949, Skipalong Rosenbloom (re-reIeased as Square Shooter) lampooned the TV-cowboy craze just as big-screen Western heroes were beginning to lose favor at the nation's box offices. No horse-opera convention goes unscathed, and the Eddie Forman-Dean Riesner script teems with broad sight gags that wouId be at home in Warner Brothers' "Road Runner" cartoons. Former boxers "SIapsie Maxie" Rosenbloom and Max Baer - accomplished screen comedians who loved cIowning off-screen as weII - acquit themselves handily, and a supporting cast studded with B-Western favorites (incIuding Raymond Hatton and Fuzzy Knight) go through their paces with customary ease. - Ed HuIse |
