Born Reckless has 50s sex kitten Mamie Van Doren filling out those tight rodeo cowgirl outfits with the bulges in all the right places. She sings and does some
trick riding and she's an itinerant performer who makes the acquaintance of Jeff
Richards and Arthur Hunnicutt.
These folks are small circuit performers who do it for the love of it. The money is nice though when you win and it hurts just as bad when a bull bucks you off at Cheyenne Frontier Rodeo or at one of these small town events.
Richards enters many events but he can somehow never put together enough money at once so he can buy a piece of land and settle down. And he's not getting any younger. Van Doren has some competition from rich rodeo groupie Carol Ohmart as well.
Some familiar western faces and some forgettable country songs are in this film enough to qualify it as a musical. Not sure if Van Doren's numbers were dubbed or not.
Born Reckless is not up there with really good rodeo films like Junior Bonner or The Lusty Men. But it's still good entertainment cheaply made.
