(1951) Westward The Women.
WESTERN/ HISTORICAL FICTION.
Depicting a particular time when most Western movies are pre- dominately about men- and not so much Western films made about the women. Starring actor Robert Taylor as Buck hired to gather and escort many abled women as much as he can gather from one town who have lots of women to another town who hardly have any which used to happen during the gold rush. It's part fiction and it's also part fact focusing the film on what women used to endure upon their very long travel since their obviously was no planes back then as well as train roots- all they had was wagons and horses while majority of them had walked. It neither glamorizes nor does it depicts women as helpless. This is appparently my second viewing after many years, and upon watching this reminded me of another movie I had saw recently called "Meek's Cutoff" made in 2010.
3 out of 4 stars.
