Frontier Gal (1945)
6/10
Offbeat Western comedy
30 June 2011
Warning: Spoilers
"Frontier Gal" was made in 1945, but it looks like it could have been made at least a decade later: it's dazzlingly photographed in Technicolor, has well-shot action scenes, and is not afraid of using playful violence as a form of foreplay - there is definite sexual chemistry between Rod Cameron and Yvonne De Carlo. Yvonne looks so comfortable mounting and dismounting and riding horses that it's obvious why she was chosen to star in so many Westerns. And I should not finish this comment without a special note for Beverly Simmons, who on the basis of this was probably one of the most talented child actresses of her generation, but had a very short-lived film career. **1/2 out of 4.
