This film was made in 1940. We were just about to go to War with Japan & people had just barely survived the Great Depression. Most people wanted fun escapist movies. The music is great! Of course it's full of fluff. The audience preferred it that way! Ask your grandparents, they'll tell you what life was like in 1940. My grandmother had a job seating people at the Admiral theater in Seattle, Wa. Actually West Seattle, which at the time was considered a separate area from Seattle. She told us that the customers loved Musicals and Westerns. The perfect escape for a Saturday afternoon. The theater's were full for every show and only cost a dime. I think if we were to quit picking apart these films and just enjoy them for the the times they were created, we could learn a lot about life in the 40's. Try to see what we have in common with that era instead of looking for the differences. We are much too cynical and if we can't enjoy a silly film like Too many Girls, we haven't come as far as we think we have. Submitted by Little Blue

I wish people would quit second guess what could have happened if another director would have directed the film. This is a good movie. A film that has all the elements of a good western, Jimmy Stewart, Audie Murphy and Dan Dureya (spell check). There's good vs. evil. Right vs. wrong. A passionate man who plays music while teaching his young friend some valuable lessons about choices. Just sit back and enjoy the movie. Of course we all know Anthony Mann didn't direct it. That point is moot. The cast is wonderful and if you just want to enjoy a fine family film this is a good one. There are too many people who look at films from the 1950's with a 2007 eye.They didn't have the technology them. Possibly things could have been done differently, but we will never know, will we? I wish people would quit second-guess what could have been and enjoy the fine film it is! Look at the scenery! Listen to the music. Read between the lines and quit picking it apart. You might find you like it. I hope so. Maybe you've seen too many films with computer enhanced parts in it so that's what your used to.

I wish folks would quit comparing these films to any film in the year 1007. These films were short on money, long on excitement, and mainly created for the kids to have heroes to cheer for! I get tired of people putting these movies in B categories. Could you do any better with what they had? Almost no budget, and remember John Wayne wasn't considered a STAR until Stagecoach. He was only nominated twice for an academy award, once for the Sands of Iwo Jima and True Grit! For an icon, a movie legend and larger than life person, I think he should have won more Oscars! The Seachers from 1956 didn't win and it is one of the finest films ever made.
