Cheyenne Social Club/Firecreek DVD

THE CHEYENNE SOCIAL CLUB: Jimmy Stewart and Henry Fonda play perfectly off each other in this witty Western comedy. Stewart is John O'Hanlan, a career cowboy who rides to Cheyenne when he learns that his brother has bequeathed him his business there. Fonda is his faithful sidekick, Harley Sullivan, who can't give O'Hanlan a straight answer as to why he has ridden at O'Hanlan's side for the last 10 years. When they finally arrive in Cheyenne, it is only to discover--to O'Hanlan's horror and Sullivan's delight--that the business O'Hanlan has inherited is the popular local cathouse. When O'Hanlan decides to shut the house down, the instant popularity he had enjoyed in Cheyenne turns into a townwide cold shoulder. The cowboy is still determined to become a "man of property," though, and turn the place into a boarding house--until his lawyer's revelations and a town bully's actions change his mind. The low-key O'Hanlan gears up for battle and must decide which way his life will blow in the winds of fortune. Shirley Jones heads up the gaggle of lovely working girls O'Hanlan inherits. The film owes much of its appeal to the clever, engaging banter between the dry, ingenuous Stewart and Fonda's charming rake of a cowpoke. FIRECREEK: In this dark, meandering Western, a villainous gang of outlaws, led by vicious gunfighter Fonda, has left the residents of Firecreek living in fear. Although rancher Stewart considers himself a man of peace, he agrees to become the town's sheriff and put an end to the bad guys' campaign of terror once and for all....
