The Cowboys and the Bachelor Girls was a rare Western from the Paris-based Melies studios. It all begins as five Eastern girls set up camp in the West, insisting that they can take care of themselves, without any men in their lives. Immediately smitten by the ladies, five cowboys decide to win the girls' hearts by proving that they do need men after all. A more straightforward effort than one might expect from the Melies firm (which usually trafficked in "trick" pictures), The Cowboys and the Bachelor Girls was enthusiastically received by its target audience. Unfortunately, it is now considered a lost film. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
