Camp Classic Supreme, Jun 8 2008
By Ronald E. Mullen "daddy ronn" - Published on Amazon.com
This is the queen of camp classics: Yvonne in her very first starring role looking exotic, breathtakingly beautiful, and showcasing many of her talents. The plot is ludicrous, loosely, very loosely based on the life of notorious dancer Lola Montez, the story carries one from Vienna to San Francisco with many a bump (and grind) along the way. Yvonne plays Anna Marie, a ballerina in the Royal Ballet of Austria, who is secretly in love with a nobleman. He is killed in war, she is duped into becoming a spy and has to flee the country -- so naturally, she turns up on a stagecoach in Arizona. Stranded, she is forced to do her most exotic dance: Salome and the Dance of the Seven Veils. Catching the eye of a passing bandit, she is kidnapped and dragged to the desert where she changes his Confederate heart by singing O Tannenbaum in German. On to San Francisco, where she is preparing for her debut with the San Francisco Ballet, sings an aria or two long the way, and hides out on a boat disguised as a Chinese princess. (I told you the plot was ludicrous) But all is well and she has a happy ending, heading off in a runaway stagecoach with her reformed Confederate bandit.

Alas, another hatchet job, July 22 2010
By R. C. Walker "catu11us" - Published on Amazon.com
Buying this DVD is an utter waste of your money and time. Since it's supposed to be 94 minutes long and is here only 56 minutes, what you've got us less than 2/3 of the actual film. Who wants to lay out $10 for this scam?

The beautiful Yvonne DeCarlo rules as the notorious"Lola Montez" who was the mistress of the King of Prussia and caused a revolution when he gave her the crown jewels.She then escaped to the American West to the Arizona town of "Salome" where she danced.This is a nice campy western classic!!!
