tavm Review of Once Upon a Horse...

Once Upon a Horse... (1958)

Compared to their only other movie-The Maltese Bippy-Rowan & Martin are plenty funny in Once Upon a Horse...

[7/10 · 22 July 2019]

Two years after watching their only other movie-the lame The Maltese Bippy which I only gave 3 stars to-I finally got to see Dan Rowan & Dick Martin's first one from 11 years earlier-this one called Once Upon a Horse... They play a couple of cattle rustlers in Empty Cup, Colorado, of which those animals happen to belong to a woman they're trying to sell them to. Martha Hyer plays that woman and she's a good female foil for them whether for romance (Dan) or some broad comedy (Dick). Rowan & Martin are better served here than in that other one they made so it's a bit of a puzzlement why they didn't make any other movies in between those two they made unless this one just didn't make enough money at the box office...
