''Westward the Women'' is a 1951 [[TheWestern Western]] film directed by Creator/WilliamAWellman and written by Creator/CharlesSchnee from a Creator/FrankCapra story. It stars starring Creator/RobertTaylor, Creator/DeniseDarcel, Creator/HopeEmerson, and Creator/JohnMcIntire. The supporting cast includes Creator/BeverlyDennis, Creator/JulieBishop, Creator/HenryNakamura, Creator/PatConway, and Creator/RenataVanni.
In 1851, Roy Whitman ([=McIntire=]) wants to bring respectable women from the East to California to marry the lonely men who work for him. He hires Buck Wyatt (Taylor) to lead the wagon train along the California Trail. In Chicago, Roy recruits "good women", ranging from Patience Hawley (Emerson), an older widow from New Bedford, to Rose Meyers (Dennis), a secretly pregnant teacher. He also accepts two showgirls, Fifi Danon (Darcel) and Laurie Smith (Bishop), convinced they wish to reform.
Wagons, horses, and mules await in St. Joseph, Missouri, along with 15 trail hands hired by Buck. Ito (Nakamura), a determined if diminutive Japanese man, persuades Buck to take him on as the cook. Before setting out, Buck warns the men and the women to stay away from each other, as he has seen wagon trains torn apart by romantic shenanigans. After a week's training, the train heads west.
Early in the journey, a man rapes Laurie, and Buck kills him. That night, most of the trail hands desert, along with eight women. This leaves only four men: Buck, Roy, Ito, and Sid Cutler (Conway), who has fallen in love with Rose. Roy decides they must turn back, but as they are half-way to their destination, Buck believes the women can "do a man's job" and finish the difficult journey.
The women persevere through various hardships and dangers, including a stampede, mountains, an Indian attack, a flash flood, and the desert, eventually reaching Whitman's Valley, and the men who are waiting to marry them.
