Warning: Spoilers
This battle of the sexes western is a routine oater with a formula plot and stock characters galore. Iron Mae (Marie Windsor) runs the Paradise saloon and casino in a frontier town that she rides herd over. Men must toe the line in her presence. Los Mujures is a wide open town with no law except Mae's law and she doesn't tolerate impertinence. He refuses to go partners with an outlaw because she can earn more money in her bar and at her poker tables. Inevitably, somebody wants to topple her, and she gives him a run for his money. A prudish western despite the women in it. They dress in colorful outfits. Performances are as solid as the cast is sturdy. Billy House is sensational as the comic relief bartender. One of Iron Mae's girl is a lean, mean dame who snaps wooden matches off her canines and fire up a cigarette. She throws Jackie Coogan over her shoulder in an audacious display of strength and cunning. Look out for the saturated colors!
