Rustler's Rhapsody

VHS, PG, 89 minutes, PARAMOUNT

Tumblin' tumbleweeds! The Wild West goes wacko when the Greatest Fast-Drawin', Fancy-Dressin,' Silver-Spurred, Geetar Playin', Singing Cowboy movie matinee idol Rex O'Herlihan (Tom Berringer) hits the saddle in "Rustlers' Rhapsody", a cockeyed, affectionate send-up of the '40s B-movie Western. Classic Western stereotypes and cliches get turned on their ear when our fearless hero, fully dressed in white and atop his dancing horse Wildflower, rides into the tackiest town west of the Pecos to do good deeds and defy desperados. Written and directed by Hugh Wilson, who was responsible for the hilarious Police Academy, "Rustlers' Rhapsody" also stars Andy Griffith and Marilu Henner.
