White Man's Fantasy



The idea that this young, beautiful woman is going to be throwing herself at an old, cranky sheriff is ludicrous.

Especially because he is wearing a wedding ring!

She says she's hard to get, and yet is undressing behind a panel right after saying that?

Yeah, right. This is a ridiculous fantasy.

Plus the fact that the old sheriff could be killed at any moment, and she could have just about any man she wants.

The mexican guy is basically portrayed as a short, servile clown.

(That gets a black eye from his wife).

22 year old Angie Dickinson throwing herself at you is every straight male's fantasy. Get a life

Absolutely correct - also Sherry Lansing in Rio Lobo or Michele Carey in El Dorodo. I'm sensing a theme here?

Life's too short to waste worrying about stupid shit like this.

John Wayne was 52 in 1959...not exactly in his prime, but far from "old" and still a handsome man. And the Mexican guy, though comic relief, does briefly participate in the final gunfight.
