Harry Guardino drove me nuts by sounding but not looking familiar until I realized I knew him from the original cast recording of Sondheim's Anyone Can Whistle (1964). Other perfectly distinguished character actors such as Hermione Baddeley, Cecil Kellaway, and Liam Redmond exist in the film, but they don't have that much to do.
It's the you-can-never-have-too-much school, but yes you can definitely have too much!
. . . you so can. I would have been fine with the interstitial cartoons if they hadn't bled into the live action. You have to be, like, Frank Tashlin or Louis Malle or Robert Zemeckis to make that workâor even Robert Stevenson. I guess he was directing something else for Disney that year. (The Gnome-Mobile?!)
Anyway, I'd like to see a young Roddy MacDowell as a romantic lead in a wild west adventure--it sounds fun.
He's absolutely delightful!
--That just made me laugh.
I have been informed since making this post that boomtown California actually spent a fair amount of its time on fire, but I continue to side-eye the finale's historicity.
