Short description
Ella Connors is a single woman who gets pressured to sell her failing cattle farm to her corrupt ex-suitor, Jacob Ewing. She asks for help from her neighbor, Frank Athearn. As Ella and Frank fight back through stampedes, jealousy, betrayal, and sabotage... they eventually find love.
What's left behind the scenes
- During filming, stuntman Jim Shepard (who was under 40 years old) died when the horse pulling him suddenly jerked to the side, causing him to hit his head on a pole. This scene even made it into the film, although the footage of Shepard cuts off immediately before the accident.
- Preparing for the role of Ella, actress Jane Fonda learned to lasso and ride horseback for scenes involving animals. She trained on a ranch in the San Fernando Valley and on location in Colorado, where she also lived on a ranch, cared for cows, practiced lassoing, and learned how a farm operates.
- Before becoming an actor, Richard Farnsworth (1920-2000) spent over 30 years working as a stuntman. He had previously been the double for Jane Fonda's father, actor Henry Fonda (1905-1982).
