Description
Goldie Hawn and George Segal star in this rough and tumble comedy that bounces from San Francisco's Barbary Coast to the wilderness of Utah. The Dirtwater Fox (George Segal) is a slick gambler who wants to hold on to the $40,000 he's stolen from a gang of outlaws. The Duchess (Goldie Hawn) is a scheming saloon singer who wants to become a "real lady." But once they team up, they begin to realize that what they really want is each other. Mixing clever dialogue with plenty of action, this sassy spoof of the Old West is made all the more fun by it's two very talented stars.
Amazon.com
There's one scene in the middle of The Duchess and the Dirtwater Fox--with Goldie Hawn and George Segal carrying on a foreign language conversation that stumbles across French, German, and Italian (with a little Yiddish thrown in)--that qualifies as a memorably funny double-talk sequence. The rest of this broad Western quasi-spoof is pretty coarse. Segal is a cardshark who appropriates a bag full of cash; Goldie is a dancehall girl without the heart of gold. This is one of those comedies where you can understand perfectly well why the two romantic leads feel antagonism toward one another--both are pressing way too hard under the direction of veteran comedy guy Melvin Frank. The movie labors in the shadow of Blazing Saddles, which at least got the conventions of the Western right. Meanwhile, the soundtrack is invaded by Bobby Vinton singing "Lemon Drops, Lollipops and Sunbeams," at which point you may wish Mel Brooks's cowpokes would come riding across the backlot and onto the screen. --Robert Horton

Watch me plums!!, 2010-08-16
George Segal plays comedy as well as any one. Goldie is her old self fresh from the "Laugh-In." They both seemed right at home during the scene of the Jewish wedding. Mazol Tov, to all.
Unacceptable rip-off, 2010-08-11
I chose the provider because of the good reviews, and so far, I have had good experiences with purchase on Amazon. Imagine my surprise when I received a region 1 DVD, whereas neither the description, nor my purchase proof mentioned the region to be region 1. I live in an area within region 2, and the DVD was dispatched from Amsterdam, NL, also in region 2. I contacted the company, who sent me their order copy, which indeed specified the region, but despite mailing them my copy and referring to the missing specifics regrading the region codes in the DVD description, the company will not budge. The best offer I received was to return the DVD at my ow expense for a refund of the cost of the DVD, not including the shipping costs. Also note that the DVD seems suspiciously like a copy, and not an original. I am hugely disappointed and rather angry at the stance the company has taken.
Comedy exceptional., 2010-06-14
Geroge Segal does a magnificent job and Goldie too. This movie has a worthless plot but is so funny you can watch it over and over.
It is a laugh out loud flick.
