Summary: Enjoyable fluff!
Review: Shelley Duvall herself stars as the title character of this episode of her Tall Tales and Legends series, and her performance alone makes this worth seeing. This is lightweight romantic fare made watchable by an incredibly likeable cast. Duvall is wonderful of course, as are David Dukes as Levi Strauss (the blue jeans guy!) and Ed Asner (of Mary Tyler Moore fame) as Clementine's pop. There's not a whole lot to the story, yet it doesn't maintain the goofy charm of the old 49er's song on which it is based. Given the potential of the cast, this is somewhat a disappointment. However, it boasts a terrific opening sequence and score by Randy Newman. And, like I said, there's really nothing to dislike here; it just doesn't amount to much of anything in the end.
