Review :

I'm famous out West!

One of the contributors to IMDb has mentioned that it'd be OK to watch this film when the weather was awful and there was nothing better to do. Well, I've just watched it on a stunning October afternoon as the Friday afternoon movie on Channel 4. How could I not have done in view of the fact that, apparently, Ms. Colbert was a favourite of my grandfather's?

I can see what S. H. Scheuer was getting at in his 'Movies On TV' when he said that C.C. was miscast in the lead role. Maybe Bette Davis or Barbara Stanwyck would have been better and given the character the edge that it needed.

As one called Chris myself I felt - with all the mentions of the name 'Chris', as if I were watching a film version of one of those 'stories all about your child' books one sees advertised in mail-order leaflets. Was the script-writer being paid per 'Chris', or something?

The Chris Mooney character was asked of his future plans. I thought, humorously, that a re-naming to Jake, or something one would ordinarily hear more often in the context of a Western, might not have come amiss. Alternatively, 'Texas Lady' could have the alternate title 'A Man Named Chris'!

If your name's Chris you'll love this movie for all the unintentional humour. Otherwise it has little to commend it.

One of the stars I have given it is for the 'Chrisses', BTW.
