A Ticket to Tomahawk is a 1950 comedy/western film directed by Richard Sale and starring Dan Dailey and Anne Baxter. It also features a very young Marilyn Monroe as one of the showgirls. In 1876 Dawson wants to prevent a train from getting to Tomahawk, Colorado on time in order to keep it from competing with his stage coach line. Kit Dodge Jr. (Anne Baxter), must get the train to its goal and 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, en route to Tomahawk, join Johnny in "Oh, What a Forward Young Man You Are."
