The Marshal's Daughter

Ken Murray comedian and now more famous as the guy who takes all those home movies of Hollywood in its golden era turned producer for The Marshal's Daughter. This film was created to showcase Laurie Anders from Murray's TV show. Anders was cowgirl trick roping artist who goes Victor/Victoria here.

Her day job is with Murray's medicine show. But by night she goes Zorro as a masked fighter for law and order in the old west helping her dad Marshal Hoot Gibson catch the one that got away.

I'm betting Murray cashed in a few favors to get this produced. Some friends did some cameos, Hoot Gibson was certainly way past his prime and wasn't getting movie offers. Tex Ritter sang some songs on the sound track.

The poker game with guests Preston Foster, Jimmy Wakely, Johnny Mack Brown, and Buddy Baer was the only bright spot in one dismal attempt at satire.
