A Lady Takes a Chance Ratings & Reviews
Mister Arn
July 1, 2025
“A Lady Takes a Chance” is a romantic comedy that pairs Jean Arthur as a New York woman with John Wayne as a stoic rodeo cowboy she meets while exploring the West. The story is straightforward yet engaging: a city girl ventures into unfamiliar territory, clashes with the cowboy's independence, and gradually finds a connection. Rather than aiming for grand romance, the film leans into quiet charm and the gentle humor of opposites attracting. It’s a film that understands its simplicity and carries it off with an agreeable grin.

Steve Crum
War era comedy is nice turn for John Wayne, co-starring radiant Jean Arthur.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
In this light, minor fare, made before he became a star, Wayne is cast as Duke Hudkins (Duke was his nickname), an easy-going rodeo rider who treasures his indpendence. .
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
A lightweight romantic comedy that's pleasing because of the easygoing relationship between stars Jean Arthur and John Wayne.
