Zandy's Bride

The way it was
This movie is a powerful view of the plight of women in our early days.Liv Ullmann could not have been better as the mail order bride and Hackman gives a terrific performance as her "buyer".The scenes from the big sur country are breathtaking in their stark beauty.Don't miss this film.It tells a long forgotten story of how difficult it was for those that came before us.

I think this is a classic. The actors were perfectly cast. It is a great story about a very hard time in our history and what some people did to make it and survive. I have loved this movie since I first saw it over 30 years ago. In addition, the scenery is beautiful.

How The West Was Won?
I saw this movie once and vowed to someday own it. I think Gene Hackman is one of the great actors. If he's in a movie I watch it and maybe purchase it.
This movie is " rough "! I decided to share it with some of my friends, but they didn't like the cruelty and some of them stopped it in the middle. Well, life is and was violent, so have we come so far as it doesn't exist? How was the frontier settled without it? I suggest that this story does have lessons to be learned. Can a person learn to repect, love and begin to see life differently then how he/she was raised? An interesting study of a woman, who sees within the heart of a man. Beautiful scenery. Nice depiction of early life in the west.
If you liked " The Unforgiven " you will love Gene Hackman in this portrayal of a rugged westerner.
