THE BALLAD OF LITTLE JO

“Abandoned by her family as an unwed mother and sold as a prostitute to soldiers by a traveling salesman, Josephine Monaghan (Suzy Amis) decides to live as a man. As ‘Jo,’ she settles in the shabby mining town of Ruby City and becomes a frontiersman. She learns to shoot, raise and shear sheep, and eventually earns enough money to buy property and a herd of her own. When a cattle company starts buying land – and killing homesteaders that stand in their way – she is forced to consider what she has made of her life as a man, all unthinkable as a society woman. Increasingly relevant today, the film can be seen, in the words of the New York Times’s Stephen Holden, as ‘an allegorical critique of sex and power and men’s-club values in America.’” –Hannah Greenberg
