Too-cute western version of "The Taming of the Shrew" stars Madison as a man about to hang for a crime he didn't commit. At the last moment he is saved--if he will marry a woman, Fleming, and then disappear. The grateful man agrees, but his curiosity is piqued, so he follows Fleming back to her home, where he learns that she wanted a marriage so that she could own her own property. She is an ambitious woman who wants to become the richest fur trader in the territory and has no place or desire for a man in her life. She enforces this lifestyle with a massive bullwhip she wields with skill. Madison doesn't give up that easily and slowly melts the icy woman's heart. Beautiful color photography shows off stunning autumn locations that are unusual for westerns. (Remade as GOIN' SOUTH, 1978.) leave a comment
