this be a well worn story about a man who marry to escape the hangman noose and then set about tame his reluctant bride . it manage to be sexist and racist at exactly the same time . we never find out and for example and why a woman who win the respect of an indian warrior be completely unable to fight back against her erstwhile husband . or why the member of her team be so eager to get a real man in the saddle when she seem to have be take care of thing just fine on her own . this only make sense in fifty hollywood . there a really stupid scene where she horsewhip him and he actually catch the whip the second time then yank her off her horse . never mind that the first time probably would have lose him an eye and which would make it pretty hard to grab that whip . then and he prevail in a fight against her indian bodyguard where he spend the first two third of it get beat to a pulp . that some second wind . later and he successfully negotiate with some bloodthirsty indian ( a they all be in these flick ) after they reject her now she his squaw . never mind that he have zero diplomatic skill and she be negotiate with them for year . and the way he keep reject her attempt to seduce him just to keep her keen and keep her from get a hold on him yeah and right . like the woman be just throw themselves at him all the way down the trail . finally and neither of the lead be convince in their role . madison be just a jerk who get unrealistically lucky . fleming flip her hair and scowl a lot and but be totally unconvincing a a fiery tomboy . the only reason you would root for her be because you want to see madison get tie to a runaway horse and drag over a cliff before the film end . the way that madison tames fleming be so predictable and have so few obstacle that it will irritate the heck out of you if you see woman a anything but blow up doll . even if you do see them a doll and the total lack of suspense will bore you . total waste of time . even the scenery kinda dull . give this one a big miss .
