_**Fun, stagey Western operetta/spoof**_ In 1872, a jovial-but-formidable stranger (Guy Mitchell) rides into Limbo County, California, on an unknown mission where he engages in contention, friendship, romance and… potentially deadly gunfights. The cast includes the likes of Rosemary Clooney, Jack Carson, Gene Barry and Frank Faylen. “Red Garters” (1954) is a colorful set-bound Western parody/musical. It’s like "The Wizard of Oz” in the cinematic Old West, but without the fantastical elements and a focus on romance and quick-draw silliness, etc. With a name like “Red Garters” you know one of the highlights is the women. Other than perky Rosemary Clooney (George Clooney’s aunt), there’s Pat Crowley (Susan), Joanne Gilbert (Sheila) and the several beautiful showgirls who perform inside and outside the saloon. The movie runs 1 hour, 31 minutes, and was shot at Paramount Studios, Hollywood. GRADE: B-
