Albert Dekker is not really our idea of Bat Masterson but he fits easily into the role and is supported by a fine line-up including Barry Sullivan (unusually but effectively cast as a likable villain), Percy Kilbride as a meek, fire-and-thunder preacher and most vividly Porter Hall who has a major catalytic role as "Dog" and plays it superbly well. Direction and production values are many notches above the standard we expect of a Harry Sherman-George Archainbaud western. Miss Trevor is excellent in the title role and has the opportunity for some rousing songs. Arthur Hohl makes a true-blue villain and other character actors excel. Well cast and played, well written, well directed and well produced with enough action for the fans and enough style for the connoisseur, "Woman of the Town" is a winner.
