Robert Taylor spent many years trying to overcome the "pretty boy" image of his early years in Hollywood. He yearned for the meatier tough guy roles and he loved the Western genre. He also had a flair for comedy that was not utilized (or recognized) enough in his career.
Westward The Women is a special film because of the incredible cast of female character actresses that populate it. I couldn't even speculate on the names of most of these delightful women but they are some of the more instantly recognizable faces that we never seem to be able to put a name to.
Each time I watch this film, the last "scene" (so to speak) is like the dessert at the end of a good meal. I eagerly anticipate it but control myself long enough to enjoy the movie. I have seen this movie countless times and seem never to tire of it. I hope others find this movie as special as I have over the last forty years.
