Son of Paleface (1952)

 The son of a Western icon returns to collect his father's inheritance. He gets involved with a saloon singer who is actually a stagecoach robber. A federal agent is acting undercover as a singer with the aim of identifying and arresting the robber gang.

Comedy which exaggerates in practically every department: the main actor's histrionics, the use of one-liners (some of which I admittedly didn't catch), the cartoon-like visual effects, and the number of tedious musical numbers. While not exactly an unbearable movie, it can become slightly annoying for some of the time, and is seldom truly entertaining.

Rating: 35
