5/10
Not Great

Warning: Spoilers
Texas Lady is an extremely ordinary mid-50s programmer with a past-her-prime Claudette Colbert looking far too old and matronly for the part of an ambitious small-town journalist and card sharp. Barry Sullivan provides her love interest as a poker player she beats for high stakes in the film's opening scene. The storyline is daft, with Miss Colbert apparently considering dallying with the thuggish deputy employed by the cattle barons who own the town in which she has started her newspaper simply because he can't read. When she realises he's a bit of a cad she decides to fall for Sullivan instead. All in all, Texas Lady is poorly written, barely entertaining employment for has-beens and never-weres.
