The Cheyenne Social ClubThe older he got, the more Jimmy Stewart became attached to his wing collars and tweeds and swinging saloon doors. But it couldn't have been the romantic notion of western chivalry that interested him. Here, he's John O'Hanlan, an aging Texan cowpoke who unexpectedly inherits the rowdiest whorehouse in Cheyenne. The smut remains relatively tasteful for a film of its time - perhaps because Kelly's focus is squarely upon the friendship between O'Hanlon and his old partner Harley Sullivan (Fonda); how they extricate each other from scrapes; how they come to terms with their new acquisition. Moderately funny, but the finale is a let-down.
