Comedy Clint Eastwood stars as a wannabe cowboy who runs a Wild West show in modern times. He may be lacking in skill and authenticity but he more than makes up for it with his infectious enthusiasm. But when runaway heiress Sondra Locke joins the group, she begins to suspect his non-Western roots.

	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Geoff Andrew Time Out	"Fragile, fresh, and miles away from his hard-nosed cop thrillers, it's the sort of film only he [Eastwood] would, and could, make."	POS
United States	Gary Arnold The Washington Post	"Eastwood's comedy timing is so precarious that one isn't always certain which jokes were intentional and which inadvertent"	NEG
United States	Dave Kehr Chicago Reader	"A gentle fable on familiar themes, lightly salted with irony by Clint Eastwood (...) A minor film with a good heart—if anything, it's too lovable"	POS
United Kingdom	Adrian Turner Radio Times	"The director is a sure judge of tone, and there's sufficient edge and wit to keep bathos at bay in what is at times a rather sentimental yarn (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
