Ballad of Josie 11/24 Blu-ray (Rental)

Starring screen idol Doris Day (Calamity Jane, Pillow Talk), The Ballad of Josie is a rousing western-comedy about a feisty widow who's determined to make a better life for herself and her young son. Strong-willed and self-sufficient, Josie decides to raise sheep, despite her little town of Arapaho, Wyoming, being in the middle of cattle country. Defying tradition, she purchases herds of sheep, renovates a dilapidated ranch, dons a pair of Levi's and challenges the resistance of enraged cattlemen. With all her pluck and courage, amidst fights, gunfire and an all-out riot, Josie organizes the ladies of Arapaho to come to her aid, even against their own cattle-owning husbands. Quick-draw Doris lights up the screen in this Technicolor trailblazer directed by Andrew V. McLaglen (Shenandoah, The Way West) and co-starring Peter Graves, George Kennedy, Audrey Christie, Andy Devine, Don Stroud and William Talman.
