She Was the Deputy's Wife

This is one of those movies that you have to watch a second time, in order to catch all the little things you missed the first time. The story is just that well written. Seriously one of the best films i have seen in a while. A western with a plot, a dark sense of humor...i thought i was going to watch a romance, and it is, but it really isnt at all. Its just good movie making.

I liked the way the main character went back in time and told how she got to the present. Good story!

Notice to future myself: Watching mushrooms growing would be more interesting.

Really enjoyed this western. It has an unusual plot line for a western more reminiscent of a Shakespeare story. The basic story is about a women who feels trapped in her life and marriage until she meets a young horse thief. She falls for him whilst helping out at his brother-in-laws ranch where he is hiding horses that he has stolen. The women is enamoured by one of the horses, a white mare, not because of the horse itself but because of the lost freedom the horse represents.

The main part of the story revolves around an unscrupulous marshal who wants the white mare for himself and he is willing to do anything to get it.

The film is apparently part of a series of 12 films although I have been able to locate any of the other 11 so far.

Definitely a film to watch as long as you are not after a shoot-them-up cowboy film.

I almost never write bad reviews for Indy movies, and especially Westerns. It's really easy to please me and I love low budget flicks. Just check my reviews. But man, this one just needs someone to voice reason and is quite possibly the worst movie I have ever seen. It pains me to say it. The acting was good. It just has no reason to exist. There is absolutely nothing compelling about the story or anything that happens. Who bloody cares? And the soundtrack is so freaking annoying. It plays the same song over and over again no matter what the emotion is supposed to be on the screen. And the kicker was, at the end credits the same of played. And it was really bad. I mean I love simple, computer program scores. But it didn't fit anything that was going on. I bought this movie because I figured it would be hard to wreck a western like this. But it really is so very boring, with no reason to exist. I had to watch it in installments like eating my peas. Because it was so awful. Again, the actors were good and the scenery and cinematography was fine. Just so utterly uninteresting and dumb. Literally the worst movie I have ever seen and I am a movie buff who loves cheesy cult and b-grade cinema. I will not watch another one of the 12 months of westerns or whatever this guy does.
