When Wellman knows hi is making omething special, and hast o be natural and honest and moving. Each close up or medium shot of a woman is a moving portrait. This film must be used in genre/gender studies...

Slant's 100 Best Westerns of All Time (100 movies items)

"Based on a story by Frank Capra, William Wellman’s Westward the Women shares the collective triumphalism of Capra’s greatest films but salts it with the grueling hardship and random cruelty that are hallmarks of Wellman’s storytelling. The premise is ludicrous on paper: A large farm in a California valley is suffering a shortage of the fairer sex, so it sends a wagon train headed by Robert Taylor to Chicago to haul back 150 brides for the workers—no short order in the middle of the 19th "
