The Ballad Of Josie Josie Minick is a widow, who is forced to fend for herself. Josie living in a cattle country, finds herself in odds and war with the cattlemen of the town, when she decides to make a sheep farm her livelihood. When Doris goes West…the West goes chicken!
The Ballad Of Josie What’s not to love about this film? If you can reserve judgment until the end, you’ll discover the humorous and heartwarming tale of a woman who is not afraid to stand her ground! Doris Day as Josie, opposite Peter Graves’ Jason, is a tremendous force to be reckoned with. In true Doris-style she takes on “the men” of Wyoming, bucking convention (in a great pair of Levi’s) and daring them to deny her her basic human rights. OK, so it only takes 2 glasses of brandy to knock Josie off her feet, but she comes right back swinging all the harder! And when the dust clears, she’s there, triumphant to the end. Not only does she beat back an oppressive cattle baron, she also manages to fend for herself and her son, run a sheep-raising operation, endear herself to the women of Wyoming, and win the love and admiration of a pretty swell guy, in my opinion. So who says you can’t have your cake and eat it too? I give Josie 10 stars
