Movie Reviews

Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 8/10 by Dennis SchwartzWonderfully ridiculous feel-good offbeat western based on the story by Frank Capra.
User Review - 10/10 by Private UOk, as a general rule I hate westerns. This movie, though, was wonderful! Wonderfully acted, great plot, great insight into the wonderful pioneer women.
User Review - 10/10 by Antoinette CI love this movie because it reminds me what we are capable of doing if we have to. If any movie should be on regular rotation on the classic movie channel, this would be it. When I travel in a comfortable airplane to the West Coast and then drive in AC to the beautiful sites of the Southwest I do think of this movie. These women fought for their very lives across rough and hostile terrain to forge a new lives for themselves and/or their families. They didn't quit, they pulled up their sleeves and fought for their new lives. Must see flick!
User Review - 10/10 by Cha tSimply wonderful. Humor, drama, heartbreak... this movie has it all. It just hasn't gotten the attention it deserves. What a wonderful cast, story, and production.
User Review - 10/10 by Camille MIn my opinion, this is the best western ever made. It's not shown nearly enough on TV. The storyline is great, there is action, adventure, heartache, comedy, and romance all rolled into what is actually an inspirational story of determination and the true grit of women in the 1850s. One of the best movies ever made.
User Review - 8/10 by Donna DThis was a pretty good western movie. Interesting story of how a group of women trek west to find their mates when a town full of men request for women to marry. The endurance, and courage what they went through during the wild west. A must see.
User Review - 8/10 by John R140201: Though there are a few corny scenes, this is a good epic movie. It features a great cast of characters. My only complaint is in the length, the film being just a bit too long. A modern version of this film deserves to be done. It would be interesting to see which current actresses and actors were chosen, as the cast is so large. I saw it in B&W but note, on Flixster, a strong warning against the coloured version.
User Review - 8/10 by Nancy The ShieldmaidenThis is one of those westerns that has a special place in my heart. It is very touching in places and shows a side of the old west rarely seen.
User Review - 8/10 by James HThis is a little known gem of a western, the performances from everyone is excellent. Superb character development, an excellent mix of drama, action and adventure with touches of comedy. It's a moving and inspiring story. Great direction from William Wellman. Well photographed and always interesting.
