Fun Stuff

Goofs:
Factual errors: In the scene where the town's people come to ask LuLu to run for sheriff, LuLu and Aggie are sitting at a table along with a plate full of nicely sliced white bread. This movie is set in Arizona in 1912 and sliced bread wasn't produced until 1928 in Chillicothe, Missouri. more
Quotes:
Sheriff John Yoss: Before we head south we're going to play a round of stud to see who escorts the gal. Like to take a hand?
Dan Jones: No thanks, I'm a gambler, not a wrangler.

Fun flick, 18 July 1999
8/10
Author: overseer-3 from Florida

Debbie Reynolds is her usual feisty self, and gorgeous Steve Forrest (Dana Andrew's brother) is the fellow who wins her heart, in this fun film about a "widder lady" bucking convention in the 1800's to go out west and make a new life for herself and her children. Catch it on AMC sometime; it is not out on video.
