In several shots during the cavalry troop scene, Anna is replaced by an obvious stunt double wearing skin-colored tights, including when Dingus and Anna run their horses into the wagon 'half-moon', and when driving the gunpowder wagon away from the cavalry.
When Sheriff Birdsill (George Kennedy) drops his cigar near the gunpowder, it flares up about a foot away from the cigar and then burns toward it.
When Dingus tackles Anna off of her horse following the chase after she threw her knife at his wanted poster, a stunt double for Anna, wearing skin-colored tights, falls off the horse.
This movie is a series of "blue" gags and poorly written slapstick mixed in with crappy stunts and a nauseating plot. I love Westerns, I love Frank Sinatra.
Dirty Dingus Magee is no classic western by any means. It is a ho hum comedy/western that lacks any appeal for Mr.
A silly movie, but not as bad as some say it is. If you are in the mood for something silly this fits the bill.
Don't watch this. It is such a waste of time.
Yes. That's the whole movie.
If you liked Frank Sinatra's Tony Rome, you'll like Dirty Dingus Magee. It's a ridiculous, silly sex comedy with an abundance of gags about sex and cleavage, like many 1960s comedies.
As l said before Sinatra is bad actor, but not unprovided of charisma, in this movie he brings a huge cast to share a silly but enjoyable western comedy of two dumb crooks, actually George Kennedy stolen the movie for your brilliant performance, a plenty of gorgeous women raise to much especially the indiscreet Lois Nettleton as Prudence Frost and odd guys like Jack Elam and Harry Carey Jr. given the colors lights to the movie, delightful and silly, really funny a little dated for nowadays.
Dirty Dingus Magee (1970) ** (out of 4) Dimwitted outlaw Dingus Magee (Frank Sinatra) runs into old friend Hoke Birdsill (George Kennedy) and robs him of $400. Hoke goes into the next town looking for a sheriff but finds the town not to have one but the Mayor (Anne Jackson), who also happens to run the local whore house, gives him the job so Hoke sets out to capture Magee but it turns out both are so stupid they keep up making new agreements to become rich.
I shelled out for this dvd more as a Sinatra completist than a seeker of a successor to Citizen Kane. Any Sinatra fan is aware that when he wants to be a serious actor he is more than capable, witness The Manchurian Candidate, but against that he has a low boredom threshold and a penchant for schoolboy humour that only himself and Dino, Sammy etc find funny, witness Four For Texas, Sergeants Three, etc.
