Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMaurice refuses vodka and orders "Kentucky bourbon and branch water". Asking for this is an old fashioned southern affectation. Branch water is either creek water from the headwaters of a creek or aquifer water in limestone country. Branch water simply refers to plain water added to a drink.
- GoofsWhen Maggie gives the instructions for the duel she says; "I'm going to count to three and then you take ten paces turn and fire" but when she actually does it, she just counts right past three, almost to ten before Joel stops the duel.

Featured review
Fast and Loose
Things are all over the place when a Russian guy, a singer, comes to town. He is welcomed with open arms. Everyone loves him except Maurice, who hates him because he is a Russian. Also a superior chess player. Holling is having disturbing dreams (sleep and dreams being continuing subjects). Joel treats him but it is doing no good. Eventually, there is to be an old fashioned duel between Maurice and the Russian. Ed falls in love with an empty headed young woman who comes from a very strange family. Chris does the Edmund Rostand thing, writing a sultry letter to her. She thinks Ed wrote it and things get crazy in the cow barn. The conclusion is really unexpected--a little Blazing Saddles.
