CS #80 The Beautiful Blonde From Bashful Bend (1949) | Laughter And Gunsmoke In The West

In this lively blend of comedy and Western adventure, Freddie Jones, a quick-tempered saloon singer in the rough town of Bashful Bend, turns her pistol on a man who flirts with another woman — and accidentally shoots the local judge instead! Forced to flee town, she disguises herself as a schoolteacher and heads for a quiet frontier settlement, hoping to start a new life.

But trouble follows her wherever she goes. With outlaws, lawmen, and would-be suitors all closing in, Freddie must rely on her wit, charm, and sharpshooting skills to survive the chaos she’s created.

Directed by Preston Sturges, The Beautiful Blonde from Bashful Bend is a colorful, fast-paced Western comedy filled with slapstick humor, mistaken identities, and the wild spirit of the Old West.
