underrated
This is a great western that is hardly even known. It’s directed by Maggie Greenwald and stars Suzy Amis as a woman in a rich family who is kicked out after she has a kid out of wedlock and she decides to go west. Amis knows she isn’t going to survive as a woman because on the first night she is almost raped by two soldiers and barely escapes. So Amis decides to dress as a man and then makes a big cut on her face so it will leave a scar. Amis winds up staying in a mining town and the people believe she’s man. Ian McKellen is a man who takes Amis in and shows her the ropes but he can get pretty violent when he’s drunk. Amis doesn’t stay with him long and winds up buying a place away from town so she can have her privacy. It’s a great movie and i can’t see why it isn’t more well known.
Absolutely Wonderful
Spoilers involved. Until this movie, I had seen nothing but movies about the men of the west. The men always succeeded, the women failed. This movie, however, is so much different. It shows a woman’s struggles in a man’s world, and she succeeds. Jo is a woman who was disowned by her family and goes west to start a new life. After coming under attack by several men, she decides to pretend to be a man. She pulls it off very well. The story is amazing, her struggles as well. Tinman is portrayed wonderfully. Overall, this movie is worth watching, buying, whatever. Its definitely worth anyones time.
