Overview

Nineteenth century Wyoming: the wild West. Mild-mannered Tom Healy has a two-wagon theater troupe hounded by creditors because Angela, his leading lady and the object of his affection, constantly buys clothes. In Cheyenne, they meet with applause, so they hope to stay awhile: the theater owner likes Angela, and she keeps him on a string. She's also the object of the attentions of Mabry, a gunslinger who's owed money by the richest man in Bonanza.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A charming theatrical romp through the Old West that treats its conflict as lightly as its costume drama. It's less about gunfights and showdowns than about the messy, complicated dance of desire and ambition playing out across a traveling troupe.
