"Heller in Pink Tights - 1 DVD - 100 Minutes - 1 Episodes - DVD Street Release Date: June 7, 2005 - dvdtvshows.com status: In Stock Item. Usually ships within 2 days. - The talents of the cast and director George Cukor (A Star is Born, My Fair Lady), combine to bring off this otherwise routine western based on a Louis L'Amour novel. Sophia Loren is Angela Rossini, a woman who seems to create the situations she gets into, and Anthony Quinn is the strong, silent but soft-hearted Tom Healy. Rather than playing it straight, Cukor opts for satire and effective comedy in taking ""The Great Healy Dramatic and Concert Co.,"" with its two-wagon loads of thespians and their gear, and turning it into a fun romp. As the troupe carries on with their performances heading through Wyoming, they are fighting for their economic survival and as often as not, running like the devil from the law. There is a likeable villain in the piece, Mabry (Steve Forrest), a zany woman who has ""sacrificed"" her own dubious stage career for that of her daughter (Ellen Heckert), a so-called Shakespearean actor (Edmund Love), a banker with menacing undertones (Ramon Novarro), and a really hysterical Indian attack. – Quote from Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide / From 1960 / Questionable for children /" Paramount Home Video
