'49-'17

I've just watched this on the "Pioneers: First Women Filmmakers" release and I have to say I found it really enjoyable. Yes it predictable, but it's not the first and won't be the last. But it was enjoyable. I especially liked Donna Drew, she was delightful to watch and it is sad that she didn't live for much longer to make more films, I think she was excellent in this one.

Some of the reviews on here are very negative, but they are old, so perhaps some of their confusions or concerns may be solved with this newer restored version. I wouldn't call this a western, in its true sense of the genre, but it is mostly set out in the west and there are the goods guys and the bed ones too, but it was more a moralistic tale.

I think with this new release this film can be seen as it is meant to be and I for one really enjoyed it.
