I loved Going South with Mary Steenburgen and Jack Nicholson, where it's a twist in a way on the theme - she saves him from the noose if he agrees to work for her/be her "husband". Fun!

A movie (it was also a story) that comes to mind when I think mail-order bride is "Zandy's Bride" with Gene Hackman and Liv Ullman. Gene's character was such a jacka**, and he played it well.

Love both Seven Brides and Here Come the Brides. I've had the privilege of meeting cast members so your post gave me a huge smile today.

She came from Naples to marry my grandfather who had come to America from near Florence (Pistoia). She was legally blind and dirt poor. <br /><br />BTW, Gwendoline Yeo (who played in Broken Trail) was the lead in my niece's film 'HEATHENS AND THIEVES' that will be premiered at the Women Writing the West conference in Bend, Oregon, in October. Gwendoline won two best actress awards for her role in H&T and the film won six best feature awards, as well.gail jennerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03191744315185086499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1409887812566625284.post-73330339747929441442015-05-22T16:24:27.591-05:002015-05-22T16:24:27.591-05:00A fun post, Meg.

Now I see I will have to add something to the title as there are so many books written with just that name. When and if I ever get it edited.<br /><br />Looks like a Harvey girl was a WESTERN man's best bet!<br />Charlie Steelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16992330591519249699noreply@blogger.com
