Worldwide first on Blu-ray! Buckle your saddles for Heller in Pink Tights, a theatrical Technicolor western starring Hollywood powerhouses Sophia Loren and Anthony Quinn, directed by George Cukor (My Fair Lady). Nineteenth-century Wyoming: mild-mannered theatre impresario Tom Healy is perpetually broke, largely because his leading lady Angela has an insatiable appetite for expensive clothes. Drifting from town to town with creditors on their tail, the troupe rolls into Cheyenne, where Angela juggles the attentions of the smitten theatre owner and a dangerous gunslinger who has his own reasons for tracking the company down. Based on the novel Heller with a Gun by Louis L’Amour, this is a vivacious, colourful, joyous Paramount picture, ripe for rediscovery.

100 min
Nineteenth century Wyoming: the wild West. Mild-mannered Tom Healy has a two-wagon theater troupe hounded by creditors because Angela, his leading lady and the object of his affection, constantly buys clothes. In Cheyenne, they meet with applause, so they hope to stay awhile: the theater owner likes Angela, and she keeps him on a string. She's also the object of the attentions of Mabry, a gunslinger who's owed money by the richest man in Bonanza.
