Hello folks! Friend of mine is going to try out for a part in a stage play, "Second Time Around" and was surprised when I said I remembered the movie. I thought it would be simple to check at Columbia or Amazon, but no luck. Do y'all remember who starred in it?

Guest: I believe that Glenn Ford was the male lead in the movie. Can't remember the female lead though.

Guest: Sorry. I was way off on that one. The film was made in 1961 and was directed by Vincent Sherman. It was written by Cecil Dan Hansen, Oscar Saul and Richard Emery Roberts (based on his novel). It starred: Debbie Reynolds, Steve Forrest, Andy Griffith, Juliet Prowse, Thelma Ritter and other lesser known actors. It was produced by Jack Cummings and the original music was by Gerald Fried.

Though the title suggests that this film is a musical romance built around the song hit of the same name, Second Time Around is actually a comedy western. Debbie Reynolds plays a young widow who in 1912 moves with her children to a wild and wooly Arizona town. At first having trouble coming to grips with frontier life, Reynolds adjusts quite well--to the extent that she is appointed sheriff. She is courted by Andy Griffith and Steve Forrest, both of whom ride to the rescue when Reynolds bites off more than she can chew and she is captured by outlaws. Sheriff Reynolds marries Forrest, while Griffith, presumably, moves on to a new job in Mayberry. The big selling angle of Second Time Around was a very brief farcical scene involving Reynolds Reynolds and a bathtub, which ended up plastered all over the advertising material for this film. -- Hal Erickson

Whatever happened to Juliet Prowse ?

I seem to remember I had some youthful stirrings for her.

Is she still about ?
