Girls in the Saddle

About This Movie

Girls in the Saddle is this peculiar blend of softcore comedy and Western that just kind of exists in its own world. You’ve got these two screenwriters who are holed up at a dude ranch, and let’s just say the scenery is, well, very distracting. The pacing has that laid-back, almost meandering vibe typical of late '60s softcore, which kind of makes it a fun watch, if you’re in the right mood. The performances? Well, they're not winning any awards, but the whole thing has a cheeky charm that’s hard to deny. The practical effects are virtually nonexistent, but that’s not really what you’re there for. It's the atmosphere of breezy escapism that stands out.

Girls in the Saddle has seen a few releases over the years, mostly in the realm of budget labels and obscurities. It’s not exactly easy to find, which piques collector interest, as many are drawn to its unique take on the Western genre. The film's mix of light-hearted humor and nudity can make it a fun addition for those delving into the eclectic side of ‘60s cinema, but don’t expect a pristine print or anything. The charm lies in its rough edges and the era it represents.
