Republic Pictures present "PLAINSMAN AND THE LADY" (1946) (87 mins/B&W) (Dolby digitally remastered) --- relive those thrilling days when Wild Bill Elliott took us down the dusty trails with hard riding and straight shooting hitting the bull's eye with excitement every time ... the Wild Bill Elliott series of B-Westerns were a staple of Saturday matinees in the 1930s and 1940s ...

First off, a hearty hello to Mr Kringle below who has also reviewed this movie, greetings from Wisconsin to my longtime friend!

On to the movie...This is another one of those great, rarely seen WC Fields movies that is simply a blast to watch, the criteria of arm wrestling to try and win Fields political position from him is always a hoot to watch. One could argue Field's gets too little screen time, but hey, take what you can get, he fills the role perfectly. Anyone who enjoys classic comedy is sure to like this.

If you never seen it you OWE it to yourself to watch it!

This movie NEEDS to be included in a future Vol 3 WC Fields Collection!!!!
