A Western for Women
I saw this movie re-aired on TV several years ago, and was thrilled to find it in video format. The cast of this movie was filled with superstars and familar faces in the movie world. Anjelica Huston's performance as Calamity Jane was amazing. She created an astounding depth of passion to this character, and the rest of the cast rose to her performance.I love this movie because I enjoy Westerns, but prefer those with a feminine touch. The setting of the movie and the development of character is what makes this movie such a great Western. It has action and drama, but this is no "B" rated Western with gun fights, and chases on horseback. The heart of this movie is its heart and the human drama; set in the West with characters such as Calamity Jane, Annie Oakley, Buffalo Bill, and Wild Bill Hickok.
