About Valley of the Dancing Widows
A group of retired soldiers return from the Civil War to Texas, where they are no longer tolerated by the women who have become independent because of their unsuitability. The failed partnership ends in murder by poison and flight. One exception is a young woman who leaves the phalanx of women out of love. The comedy, disguised as an idyll, refers in many ways to classic models in the genre of the western and the home movie.
Directed by Volker Vogeler, Valley of the Dancing Widows leans on a strong ensemble — Harry Baer, Tilo Prückner, Judy Stephen — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about western titles of 1975.

Ivey fights back with violence and destruction, but Dave is determined to counter him legally... a feeling not shared by his associates.
