Sein Engel mit den zwei Pistolen (1948)

Sein Engel mit den zwei Pistolen: Directed by Norman Z. McLeod. With Bob Hope, Jane Russell, Robert Armstrong, Iris Adrian. Calamity Jane is dispatched to find out who’s smuggling rifles to the Indians, and winds up married to a hapless correspondence-school dentist as part of her cover.

“Jane Russell plays Calamity Jane who is offered pardon on a ten year sentence if she tracks down the culprits who are selling weapons to the Indians. She hitches up with a dim-witted dentist, Bob Hope, so that she can trick the bad guys into thinking that he is the federal agent tracking them down, instead of her. Hope is conned into thinking that he has killed a dozen or so Indians, in one of the funnier scenes. Hope is extremely funny in this comedy western as he struts his stuff through the old west. Most jokes hit their mark, and Russell is as much fun as Calamity Jane as well. The catchy Oscar winning tune u0026quot;Buttons and Bowsu0026quot; is given a voice by Hope early in the film.”
