Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Before A Million Ways to Die in the West... before Blazing Saddles... even before Support Your Local Sheriff... there was The Hallelujah Trail.The year is 1867, and the mining town of Denver is facing a crisis: All the signs are pointing to the coming winter being long, and hard, and they are running out of whiskey! Hoping to resupply before the winter snows make it impossible, the town saloon owners pool their resources to bring in one last wagon train loaded with booze.The wagon train immediately draws the attention of every Indian within hundreds of miles, as well as the Women's Temperance League. A cavalry troop is dispatched to protect the wagon train. Temperance leader Mrs. Cora Massingale inspires a band of women to set out to intercept the wagon train and destroy its cargo. A second troop of cavalry is dispatched to protect the women. The Denver Miners' Militia is formed to go out and meet up with the wagon train, and protect it from the Indians, and the women. A group of wagons, driven by members of the Irish Teamsters' Union, breaks away from the main train, until their labor demands can be met.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })All these groups come together in the middle a blinding sandstorm, and Hilarity Ensues.Interestingly enough, this 1965 laugh riot was directed by John Sturges, the man who gave us The Magnificent Seven and The Great Escape. And, like those films, it features a music score by Elmer Bernstein. The cast includes Burt Lancaster, Lee Remick, Jim Hutton, Pamela Tiffin, Donald Pleasence, Brian Keith, and Martin Landau. | |

Outdoor Bath Peeping: Done deliberately by the soldiers and accidentally by Col. Gearhart, who just wasn't paying attention where he was walking. Please Put Some Clothes On: In response to the above, Col. Gearhart sheepishly makes this request to Cora, as the men are being...distracted. Cora essentially shrugs it off and goes on to tease him a bit for his troubles.... | |

Meaningful Name | |
| The Hallelujah Trail / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: Col. Gearheart, whose dry but orderly life is thrown into chaos by Cora Massengale, who also throws his system entirely out of whack. A gear is also metallic, and so his name could be also interpreted as Metal-heart, not unfitting for a man who usually tries to keep his emotions in check like the Colonel. | |

Heroic Seductress / Femme Fatale: Depending on whether you're on her side or not. Cora seems to love using her sexuality to get Col. Gearheart to agree to her requests. At one point, she massages a hangover out of him, in a very...suggestive manner. While leaning over him in bed. | |

Leitmotif | |
| The Hallelujah Trail / int_9f6fb586 | comment |
Leitmotif: Nearly every movement in the film's famous "overture" besides the main theme turns out to be this. In order, there's a flute-and-drums theme for the Denver Free Militia, a brass-laden theme for Col. Gearheart's cavalry, a sweeping "big sky" theme for wide shots of traveling the land, a playful piccolo-and-guitar theme for Oracle Jones, and "Stand Up, We'll March To Denver" for Cora and the Temperance League. | |

Obfuscating Stupidity: Walks-Stooped-Over (Martin Landau) sub-chief of the Sioux Indians, and their main negotiator. After spending the whole movie communicating in badly translated sign language, and listening in as the cavalry officers discuss their plans in English, believing that he doesn't understand them, it is revealed that he speaks English perfectly well. | |
