"Callaway Went Thataway" is a 1951 American comedy/satire film starring Fred MacMurray, Dorothy McGuire, and Howard Keel. It was written, directed, and produced by Melvin Frank and Norman Panama. Also known as "The Star Said No", it was a satire of the television program "Hopalong Cassidy".

Plot

Two smart marketing people (MacMurray and McGuire) resurrect some old films starring cowboy Smoky Callaway (Keel) and put them on television. The films are a big hit and the star is in demand. Unfortunately no one can find him. When a lookalike (also played by Keel) sends in a photo, the marketing team hires him to impersonate Callaway. Things get sticky when the real Callaway eventually shows up.

Clark Gable, Elizabeth Taylor, and Esther Williams make cameo appearances.
