L' État sauvage

There is a good film in here, but it ultimately gets lost in the overly long run time. But yes it is a fascinating oddity: An unconventional western dominated by the desires of women. worth watching. James Welch Henderson, Arkansas 3/16/2021

Was a tough movie to finish, nothing new or original and slow paced/boring. 2 hours was just too much yet I still watched it through somehow

John Wayne, Randolph Scott and Clint Eastwood are screaming, " Say what?" A bunch of women that have grand illusions of being sexy and tough all at once. The dresses they wear in the western scenes are completely out of place. All of them appear to have perfect teeth, something that would have been impossible for the time period. The hair styles would have never been possible for the wilderness location they were traveling. This is just a slow boring movie. I have been watching westerns for over 65 years and this is about as bad as it gets. The scenery and cinematography are well done but the actors come across as rich folks traveling on a dude Ranch cattle drive.

This is really a stupid film which gets more and more absurd as it goes on. We had a laugh at its expense however.

St Charles is in Missouri, USA. In the movie they are going to New York. They certainly took the long way. Parts of the movie looked a little like the Rockies. Other parts looked like Utah and South Dakota. There are no bad lands between Missouri and New York. Still other parts were not at all on the possible trip, did not even look like North American. And what season was it? Fall to winter back to fall. It does not snow that much in the southern USA. What about the civil war? Nothing related to civil war on their trip. Just in the beginning. You would think they would come across an old battlefield. The acting was good! Scripts undeveloped. The editing and the planning of the sets were really bad. The film did not support the skills of the actors and just left me confused.
