In this Trucolor western Judy plays a backwoods shopkeeper who falls in love with the town's sheriff (John Russell). When she performs an act of courage, she not only earns herself a deputy's badge but also the right to stick close to her handsome lawman. Soon the two of them are working to rid the community of corrupt politicians and a local gambling den full of bad guys. In a unique turn on the normal male dominated theme, Judy rallies the town's womenfolk to come to the rescue of the sheriff.

This review is from: Western Divas Double Feature (The Groom Wore Spurs / Oklahoma Annie) (DVD)

Judy Canova was a hilarious comedian who I remember from my childhood. With all of the revival interest in stars from the 40's and 50's, I can't understand why she has been overlooked. As far as I know, only two of her films are available on DVD, and those have only recently been produced. I bought this DVD especially for her movie. If you remember her from your childhood, or are interested in one of America's comedic legends, buy her films.

This review is from: Western Divas Double Feature (The Groom Wore Spurs / Oklahoma Annie) (DVD)

The Groom Wore Spurs starring Ginger Rogers and Jack Carson is a romantic comedy for those looking for something entertaining but not too taxing on the brain. Ginger plays a lawyer who falls in love with and marries her spoiled client only to find he was merely using her to avoid financial ruin. Of course, the beautiful and refined Ginger shows her man that two can play that game causing her husband to really fall in love with her along the way. Oklahoma Annie is the real prize in this double feature. Starring the extremely funny and talented Judy Canova this musical comedy will tickle your funny bone. Judy plays a shop keeper who falls in love with the new town sherriff and helps him clean up the rampant corruption around town. Of course nothing Judy does ever goes quite right but you can't help but love this Queen of hillbilly corn!

From back in a time were watching movies you knew what was good and bad by the clothes that were worn. Good won, bad lost, that was the long and the short of it. Judy made you love her and anyone that wasn't nice to her was your enemy. Dear God, please make more judy Canova movies available. Amen.
