| | not as good as paleface / son of paleface but worth seeing , | Big " O " 01/21/2007 | | Babara looks great as a cowboy outlaw in her sensually tight jeans , tall riding boots, matching gun belt,stetson and vest. She even looks better than Doris Day did in jeans from the "Ballad of Josie ". Jane Russell with her shape and non-jeans cowboy wardrobe is the best looking "cowboy outlaw "ever. Bob Hope is a better comic and actor than Don Knotts. By contrast I have given " Son of Paleface " a perfect ten out of ten score. |
