STAY AWAY, JOE
"STAY AWAY, JOE" is a 1968 Western comedy based on the 1953 novel by Dan Cushman. However, the screenplay was taken from the badly produced Broadway musical "WHOOP-UP," a script with a dismal storyline and characters. One would think, that if the Broadway production was a big failure, the screenplay’s writer would observe and avoid the failures.
