The Women's Happy Time Commune (1972)
Directed by Sheila Paige
47 minutes
Made with an all-women cast and crew, WOMEN'S HAPPY TIME COMMUNE is an improvised comedy/western – a lively immersion into the feminist ferment of the early 1970s. From the 1972 distribution flyer: "An anarchic, unconventional movie in which the Old West is the stomping ground for a motley crew of young and middle-aged women who are considering banding together to form a commune. Having met by chance they merge (are dragged, cajoled), clash and ultimately separate in disarray of scenes that are alternately picturesque, infuriating, incomplete, yet always colorful."
