Pardners
Wade Kingsley Jr., a wealthy momma's boy from the East, returns to the West in an effort to follow in his murdered father's footsteps by partnering with Slim Moseley Jr., the son of his father's former partner. Wade overcomes Slim's initial reluctance to accept him by using his fortune to buy a prize cow and a new car to help Slim in his duties as foreman on the Kingsley family ranch, currently under siege by a gang of outlaws known as the 'Masked Raiders'. Wade generously attempts to pay off the ranch's mortgage with $15,000 of his own money, but neither partner realizes that the respected banker Dan Hollis, the son of their fathers' murderer, is the leader of the gang.

Almost a buckskin beauty. Pardners is the 15th of the 16 feature length pictures that Dean Martin & Jerry Lewis made together. It'a a reworking of the 1936 Bing Crosby film, Rhythm On The Range, which just like this remake was directed by Norman Taurog. Plot sees the comedy duo playing sons of one time wild west partners. Brought together by accident 25 years later, the boys head out west and get into all sorts of scrapes; with Jerry even becoming sheriff! It was inevitable that Martin & Lewis would end up out west playing cowboys since all the comedy duos do it. The timing here was perfect since the 50s was the most prolific decade for the genre. On the list of their collaborations Pardners probably sits some where in the middle, it's a safe mix of songs and buffoonery, with pretty girls represented by Jackie Loughery & Lori Nelson. It's a VistaVision/Technicolor production and songs featured are "Me 'n You 'n the Moon," "The Wind! The Wind!" "Buckskin Beauty" and "Pardners," (music by Jimmy Van Heusen, lyrics by Sammy Cahn). Safe & colourful comedy fare for fans of the successful duo. 7/10
