★★★ · Guinn "Big Boy" Williams - Holiday on the Range · Poohbah70 · 2019-12-15
The movie has a rather hard to believe plot about a Mexican getting blamed for robberies committed by a big man, a foot taller, disguised in a Mexican style embroidered jacket and a sombrero. Once you get past that, it is a good action filled western - not great, but an entertaining hour or so. I like Guinn "Big Boy" Williams - a rather natural actor who is a decent guy, but tough when he has to be. Janet Chandler makes a sweet love interest after she gets over her anger at the man she believes killed her father. All the supporting actors are good.

This is a bit of a curio western for 2 reasons. A) the hero looks a lot like, yes, George W. Bush, and B) The stunt / fight coordinators must watch wrestling a lot because whenever people get into a fight, they always wind up throwing their opponents around (and uh, what WAS the deputy trying to do.. mount him?) and always escaping with a high fly through a window. This story is about how one cowboy, who just wants a vacation from all the cowboying that he does, but gets sucked in by a case of identity theft, when a short Mexican ¡®s identity is taken by, yes, a tall fat man. NOONE notices…
