Two-Gun Lady

Long before NIKITA and today's - 2020's - fashion action movies involving female fighters, shooters, rough characters, you could find from time to time some gems, such as this one and also DALTON GIRLS, GIRLS ON THE LOOSE and many more films. Especially in the sixties, with exloitation B pictures involving bikers, more or less nude action films, in any topic proposing couter culture, revolt against the system, where women were too often in the kitchen. I agree that Calamity Jane and Belle Starr characters were used by the industry, but they were historical characters, and it was impossible to avoid those topics. Such actresses like Barbara Stanwyck, Joan Crawford or Marlene Dietrich also served this kind of schemes, strong women. But they were exceptions. This very film from Richard Bartlett - an interesting and offbeat director - is not his best however; I highly prefer MONEY, WOMEN AND GUNS. This topic remains too predictable, despite the two gun lady. DALTON GIRLS from director Reg Le Borg was more exciting. And what a surprise to have Bill Talman in a role where he is not the bad guy. Very rare. The showdown scene in the bar, in the end, is terrific for such a B western.
