This movie is only remembered by today's audiences because it features Monroe in her first big dramatic role. I wish she hadn't taken the part as this film should not be remembered. While there are decent supporting performances, they aren't worth the god awful plot or intensely unlikable protagonist, who learned everything he needed to know about romance from Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (seriously, what was with 50's movies and kidnapping women?). As for Monroe, she is mediocre at best.

Nothing special, and also, gee, what a silly plot...

The direction is sluggish and uninspired, but Monroe is quite touching. Don Murray, however, just isn't in her league--and it shows.

Meh

Obnoxious comedy that not even Monroe can save; Don Murray's awful acting further increases the intense irritation of his chauvinistic cowboy role.

the concept is simply terrible, and the naivety of murray's character is unbelievable. this movie takes a hodgepodge of bad ideas and horrible follow though to an extreme, monroe's brain meltingly bad accent is a testament to that.

One of the worst movies of the 50s. Totally inane

This is Marilyn at her best.
