| A
LADY TAKES A CHANCE (aka: The Cowboy
and the Girl) |
--
Synopsis: A wartime romantic comedy
of 'opposites' finding true love. A Lady Takes a Chance is probably
the best American romantic comedy of the '40s that hardly anyone
knew about--at least, in the last three or four decades of the
20th century so this lovely gem is ripe for rediscovery. Not only
for Arthur at her most enchantingly distracted, as a New York
gal on a bus tour of the modern Wild West, who sparkles in this
wartime comedy, as Molly Truesdale, a sweet, pretty salesgirl
overwhelmed by 3 overzealous suitors! and also for John Wayne's
sly sexiness as the rodeo rider who literally falls into her lap
and it's love at first sight!
*
This is not a musical or dance movie, however this film does feature
an unusual dancer, wait he isn't a dancer it's John Wayne doing
the Jitterbug no Less with Jean Stevens. This is a very good film
on it's own right and for swing dancers, this is a must to have
in your dance collection for watching "Mr. Macho" John
Wayne Jitterbug is a real hoot to see! John Wayne also danced
the Jitterbug in "the Fighting Seabees". |
