" TV (RECORDED TO DVR) / REWATCH Date watched: 12th January, 2013 Project: Favourites Why?: Recorded this over the Christmas holidays. Only getting around to it now. Director: Henry Hathaway Thoughts: Ha! Well, still enjoyed it. The Bechdel Test = FAIL | Two Women = No | Talking = Well, no | About a man = yes | I like the girl in this film, but she is surrounded by guys and talking mostly about her father. "

"This is a great old-time western, but it does alter the story significantly in order to make John Wayne the focus, and also I thought Kim Darby was way too old to play a convincing Mattie."
