A Ticket to Tomahawk is a 1950 comedy/western film directed by Richard Sale and starring Dan Dailey and Anne Baxter.
In 1876 Dawson wants to prevent a train from getting to Tomahawk, Colorado on time, so to keep it from competing with his stage coach line. Kit Dodge Jr. (Anne Baxter), who must get the train to its goal, forces Johnny Behind-the-Deuces (Dan Dailey) aboard as the needed passenger. Madame Adelaide's (Connie Gilchrist) showgirls (including Marilyn Monroe as Clara) ride along and, in route to Tomahawk, join Johnny in "Oh, What a Forward Young Man You Are."
