funny movie in which Katherine Hepburn worries her father and 2 brothers because she still hasn't found a man, then the charming con man (Lancaster) comes along and after a while he releases something in her, but the sheriff's deputy in the village is also there.
At first I thought it was half western but with the cars and the story it's more of a comedy film version of a play.
Quite funny at times and Lancaster plays his role with great enthusiasm.
