The Day of the Outlaw.
Definitely a rare western film, considering the order in which the class has been showed films. In the past two movies, Roster Cogburn and The Ballad of Little Jo, women had evolved with time and were starting to have more protagonists in the films. Women were now stronger, had more powerful lines, and there voice was now heard and listened to with much more attention.
In the day of the outlaw, women have turned to be what they used to be. They were looked down upon by society and were not taken seriously, they were only good for cooking and pleasing men in every way they needed.
Women became an object of men again and men had the spotlight once again. Men were the alpha-male and had control over the scene. The image and model which John Wayne had portrayed in his previous westerns was once again being showed to the audience.
