LT Fish Likes Flicks: Lemonade Joe - Czech DVD Review
Originally uploaded to YT 20 Sep 18:
Non-Western Westerns #3
My review of the entertaining retro-western - 1964’s “Lemonade Joe” or The Horse Opera (released in the US in 1967).
Written and directed by Oldrich Lipsky
Starring: Karel Fiala as the titular “Lemonade Joe”
Rudolf Deyl as local gangster Doug Badman
Milos Kopecky as Doug’s fellow villain Horace Badman aka Hogofogo Kveta Fialova as the dance-hall star Tornado Lou
and Olga Schoberova as the prohibitionist Winnifred Goodman.
Additional thoughts that always come too late to make it into the audio cut – in retrospect, one of the most glaring omissions in this movie – compared to essentially any other western – is the complete lack of religious references. Yes, there are a couple crosses in the cemetery, but there’s no church or mission or parson or padre, and the prohibitionists are strictly anti-liquor with no reference to saving the souls of the lost – an otherwise ubiquitous characterization in any similar characters in other films – not least the contemporary spaghetti westerns. Even Winnifred’s father Ezra who would normally be the parson-type is simply a merchant running a competing saloon – stocking only kolaloka – strictly a commercial enterprise.
