Westward the Women and the pioneer spirit

I first saw this movie a long time ago, before cable. I was a young girl then. This movie FINALLY gives women a place in the movement west. Most history books and movies make women of that era look like a bunch of pansies! Westward the Women depict women in a true pioneer light, able to do what is considered the work of men. This movie spurred on my interest in women's histories. This should be part of any school pioneer studies. At least a jumping off point for discussion regarding the authentic role of women since the first European woman set foot in North America.

Gritty

I know, maybe we are used to seeing "Robert Taylor" in a certian setting when it come to movies, but this one has a good story behind it and a good cast of women coming out of the norm to reach cross country to their awaited future husbnads and home, but it's what goes on on the way to their destination that makes it real good.
By the time they get there, the husbands should be wearing the aprons. GET THIS ONE.

another oldie but goodie

Here is another oldie but goodie from the early '50's. Good story, acting and great B/W photography. One could go on at length about the fine points of this film, but the main thing is, just get it!! This is a definite "classic" and deserves a place in any movie library! Robert Taylor is at the top of his form as usual, providing enough conflict to keep one interested. Hope Emerson and the Asian boy, "Ito," provide a balance of humor that gives one a light-hearted break. I just wish it was on DVD.

I enjoyed it

I've watched this classic whenever I could find it on TV. I enjoyed the chemistry between Taylor and Darcel. And, ofcourse, the women... As the charactors go through the trials of the trip, you Know that you too, would've said "Not me!"

Good acting - good story!

I found this movie on television years ago and loved it. The story and acting are superb. What hasn't it been put on DVD??
