The film opens iia Mace at the Theater. Life and love are taken for “Second Time round” by Debbie Reynolds as she portrays Lu Rogers, a young widow who comes West to start a new home for her children. In Charleyville, Arizona in 1911, Debbie finds herself jobless and friendless. Her charming personality and willingness to work gain the respect and the affection of the entire town, especially of gambler Steve Forrest and Rancher Andy Griffith. Ranch owner Thelma Ritter teaches Debbie the rough life of ranching. When a new sheriff is needed to replace corrupt Ken Scott, Debbie is front and center as the fastest gal with an umbrella. The West is tamed in a new and riotous fashion with Debbie at the reins. Debbie feels that unless an actress is willing to go along with the “gags” and “stunts” herself, she should never undertake a film of this kind. “Comedy is many things,” says Debbie, “but the one thing it is not is the kind of film making that can be done in long shots of a stand-in performing the action. Jerry Lewis does his own falls. That’s why he’s funny. I intend to do the same thing.” Known in Hollywood as a pratfall artist without peer, Miss Reynolds outdoes herself in “Second Time Around.” Her first fall is down a long flight of steps from a hay loft. When Boss Thelma Ritter orders her to put one of the calves in the barn, Debbie grabs the first handle—the tail. Calves don’t like their tails pulled, so bossy takes off with Debbie hanging on for dear life. Debbie is finally thrown clear—into a pubble of mud. Appointed Sheriff, Debbie proves she is able to take care of herself in any situation. Twice she clobbers Ken Scott with an umbrella; she socks Steve Forrest in the eye and slaps Andy Griffith. For other emergencies she scratches, bites, kicks and uses whiskey bottles to “keep the peace.” Based on the book “Star In The West” by Richard Emery Roberts, “Second Time Around” was produced by Jack Cummings and directed by Vincent Sherman from a screenplay by Oscar Saul and Cecil Dan Hansen. eeoeeceeeesese Juliet Prowse Sets Screen Ablaze Juliet Prowse appears as a fiery dance-hall girl in a 1911 Arizona saloon in the 20th Century-Fox CinemaScope-DeLuxe Color outdoor comedy “Second Time Around,” topeasting Debbie Reynolds, Steve Forrest, Andy Griffith, Thelma Ritter and Ken Scott, on view.......
