Montgomery is the boxer who goes down in a plane crash and dies when he is, supposedly, fated to live for another 50 years. Rains seems to be thoroughly enjoying himself in this little romp into the after-world, and his stellar performance bears this out. Mel steals shamelessly from Hitchcock's major films. This story is about a shrink who works in an institute for the very very nervous. Some sketches are indeed very very funny.
Some sketches just stink stink.
Coop is about to marry and hang up his guns as a law man when he learns that the dangerous gunmen he sent to prison are free, and are coming to get him. This is a Western of mythic proportions, even though its theme has been duplicated so many times before so that it now seems to look trite. A great film. Mitchum's gambling debts force him into helping exiled criminal Burr return to America. This film is noted for its hilarious dialogue and quality ad libs, such as the scene where Mitchum is ironing his dollar bills.
