Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

JohnHowardReid Produced by Dore Schary. Copyright 12 November 1951 by Loew's Inc. A Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer picture. New York opening at the Capitol: 31 December 1951. U.S. release: 31 December 1951. U.K. release: 4 February 1952. Australian release: 2 May 1952. 10,480 feet. 116 minutes. Location scenes filmed at Surprise Valley, Paria Canyon and Johnson Creek in the Mojave desert of Southern Utah.NOTES: M-G-M cut the film to exactly 10,000 feet (111 minutes) in the U.K.COMMENT: Typically, M-G-M has transmuted what could have been a moving piece of historical Americana into a wearisome parade of cornball clichés, redeemed by impressive location photography and a spirited performance by Denise Darcel.The direction by William A. Wellman is visually stylish, but the decision to dispense with background music was a bad error of judgment as its lack points up dialogue and situation clichés more strongly.Still, there is enough incident to maintain the interest, despite Wellman's method of telegraphing each plot development well in advance and despite a comic-relief Japanese cook who talks to the dog of a dead little boy and has a well-stocked repertoire of philosophic clichés for every eventuality - which come across as twice as boring in this film as he says them first in Japanese!Revived at second-release cinemas, two or three times in the 1950's, Westward the Women lent itself to the sort of advertising campaign designed to draw in less discriminating patrons.

jb-16780 Just stumped how this was not even under academy consideration. Robert Taylor gives an oscar worthy performance. This would be perfect for tom shellack in his early days. Any nominations who should do the robert taylor role in the remake?

vzedwy Growing up in the age of having to wait perhaps a year or more before a movie would be shown again on television, my sister and I were always very happy and excited to see "Westward the Women" on the TV schedule. This movie has it all: lots of stock characters, but those characters feel like real people and not one-dimensional figures. Robert Taylor's character does NOT want to lead a women-only wagon train across the west (after all, who will dig the wagon out of the mud?) and does so very grudgingly. Comedy and tragedy ensue, of course, with the women facing all sorts of obstacles. As little girls, we loved and were amazed by this film: as another reviewer rightly points out, it's a great movie about strong capable women.

sarahj74 If only this movie would come out on DVD . . . As a woman, this is one of my favorite westerns because it shows women who were courageous, brave, and faced the same danger as all men who went west. The movie has times when you will roll with laughter and even though there may be no tears from cowboys, there are some tearjerker moments. The women in this film are not the 2 dimensional beauties who wait patiently in the wagon for the menfolk to save the day. Regardless of how many times I've seen this movie, I enjoy every single time. Unlike most westerns, any and all gunfights move the plot along and show the women evolving on their journey west. To me, this western is along side Fort Apache for the most well written script.
