Marshal Girl
By Jeffrey M. Anderson This Western from Roger Corman is uncharacteristically slow and talky. The action scenes are lethargic and the film is filled with gaffes; I suspect that the great B-movie director and the Western genre never quite clicked. He only worked in this capacity three or four more times over the course of his 500-film career. Regardless, Gunslinger is of interest with its strong, pants-wearing female hero, Rose Hood (Beverly Garland), who takes over the job of marshal after her husband is murdered. She faces off with a handsome, vengeance-driven bad guy (John Ireland) and a sexy barmaid (Allison Hayes). Hayes alone makes the film worth seeing. Apparently, the film is unavailable (or at least out-of-print) on DVD, and so currently the only way to see it is in the MST3K version, which is probably for the best.
