Pistols and Petticoats



"Pistols and Petticoats" has seen better days
There are considerable reproduction quality issues with this DVD release of what was a very cute television series and is now apparently in the public domain. The quality of the original film to DVD master transfer was so poor that I returned the DVD and I would not recommend a purchase for the offering price. It might be a better choice to use Amazon Instant Video to view this program. I ordered the DVD because I am a fan of the late Ann Sheridan and wanted to view some of her last work in television.
There is nothing wrong with this cute episode as far as the content goes, but the DVD quality is lamentable. First, the DVD gives us only one random episode of the television series, promoting it under the Cinema Classics title, as though it were a "feature" and having a running time printed on the disc of 90 minutes. One would assume feature-length; its not. This is only an average hour length TV show. The titles of the show indicate that it was filmed in...

NO sound
Would love to see this but it has no sound.Streaming has problems with no sound. This is rare an episode from the little seen TV series with the very talented Ann Sheridan at the end of her too short life and the always hilarious and Ruth McDevitt.

When I was a kid....
When I was a kid (age 8-9 or so) Pistols & Petticoats was one of my favorite tv shows! I loved Ann Sheridan. But let's face it, even she couldn't compare to Gunsmoke & Miss Kitty. So I'll have to say that P&P is #2. But does anyone I know wonder why I'm a redhead now?
