Did you know
- TriviaDuring the weeks this movie was being filmed, rumors began about the impending demise of the Martin and Lewis partnership. So when "The End" title appears on the screen, Dean and Jerry look at the audience and exclaim: "We're not ready for 'The End' yet!" Then they shoot the letters off the screen with their six-guns. The stars continue to address the audience, calling one another as "Dean" and "Jer", insisting how much they enjoy making pictures for everybody.
- GoofsAs Dean rescues Jerry in the doorway of the train after it leaves New York, cars from the 1950s, not 1910, are visible in the rail yard in the stock footage background.

Slim Mosely Jr.: [he sits on an old chair and in collapses just as Matilda comes into the room screaming in horror] My antique chair!
Slim Mosely Jr.: [relieved] Well, I'm glad it was only an old one.

Featured review
Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin vehicle with hilarious set pieces , spoof , musical numbers and shootouts
Here Martin and Lewis are descendants of previous ranch partners . Lewis raised by a wealthy mother : Agnes Morehead , who desires progressive wishes for her son, but the latter only wants to regain the familly , glory and and clean up the town from baddies . Lewis is especially a maladroit millionaire , who goes to the old West to learn to be a cowboy , there he meets the brave shooter Dean Martin - he produced uncredited the film as well - who wants to buy a prize cow. Meantime, Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis shoot the works with laughter and ballets, ballads and beauties. Along the way, they confront a gang of bandits who currently take under siege the ranch and the town, and then , eventually , Lewis is appointed sheriff . The laughs are Louder! The songs are bigger ! They are at hands on the Trigger! .All hilarity breaks loose neath that old Western sky in the biggest fun round-up since Paleface ! . The biggest bestest funni3st most musical Western yet !
A nice spoof Western, it results to be a loose reboot of Norman Taurog's "Rhythm on the Range" made 20 years earlier with Bing Crosby. Stands out Jerry Lewis at his most worryingly infantile, giving overacting , mimic and lots of gesticulation , while Dean Martin singing catching songs in his usual style . However , the Martin and Lewis partnership was nearing breaking point on this ironical and fun Western . Here there is more singing than gunslinging but it turns out to be entertaining and amusing enough . Incredibly , this amiable enough romp was written by beststseller author Sidney Sheldon. Jerry Lewis at his best as a rich momma's boy , a millionaire son of a former rancher who's persuaded to go West once again by the saddle-happy of his father's old partner , Dean Martin, both of them giving very likable interpretations .There's also spectacular musical numbers with impressive choreography by prestigious chreographer Nick Castle , attractive musical score by Frank De Vol and colorful cinematography in Technicolor by Daniel L. Fapp
Great duo starring , Martin and Lewis , are well accompanied by a good cast , such as : two beautiful girls incarnated by Lori Nelson , Jackie Loughery , various familiar secondaries as Agnes Morehead, Jeff Morrow, Lon Chaney Jr , Lee Van Cleef , Bob Steele, Jack Elam, among others . The motion picture was decently directed by Norman Taurog . This craftsman was a fine Hollywood artisan with penchant for Musical and Comedy , though he also made other genres , such as : "Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Speedway , Toast of New Orleans, Presenting Lily Mars , Broadway Melody of 1940, Bundle of Joy, Girls Gils Girls , GI Blues , Blue Hawaii, Tickle me , Birds and the bees , Double Truble , Words and Music" , among others . Rating : 6.5/10 . The flick will appeal to spoof Western and Musical genre enthusiasts , as well as Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin fans .
