Review of The Duchess and the Dirtwater Fox (1976) by Kevin M. W — 08 May 2016

You know what was wrong with Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid? Too many men. Yep. This comedy, engineered on the heels of that one, reimagines those turn of the century Western escapades with that formula in mind.

And so Segal plays a con artist on the lam from some bandits he snookered, and Hawn plays a woman of ill repute who joins him. The idea is not terribly bad but the execution feels forced though the stars bend over backward to inject the thing with charm.

Neither will ever mention this effort in conversation of their own accord although it becomes an interesting artifact of the times it was made.
