The Ballad of Josie is a 1967 Technicolor American comedy western film directed by Andrew V. McLaglen[1] and starring Doris Day, Peter Graves and George Kennedy. It humorously tackles 1960s themes of feminism in a traditional Western setting.

It was the last film for William Talman.[2] It was filmed on two locations in Thousand Oaks, California: North Ranch and Wildwood Regional Park.[3]

Plot

A young woman living in (fictional) Arapahoe County, Wyoming accidentally kills her very abusive husband. She is put on trial but acquitted. She then incurs the annoyance of her male neighbors by farming sheep instead of cattle and setting up a women's suffrage movement.
