An uncommon confrontation between two women shifts the motif of rivalry onto primarily psychological terrain. Vibrant colors and feminist undertones have made this western a milestone in American cinema history. Media scientist Joke D’Heer exposes tracks of queerness in this hypermasculine film genre. Right on target, yet again!
