7 Women

7 Women (also known as Seven Women), is a 1966 historical drama film directed by John Ford and starring Anne Bancroft, Sue Lyon, Margaret Leighton, Flora Robson, Mildred Dunnock, Betty Field, Anna Lee, Eddie Albert, Mike Mazurki, and Woody Strode. It was produced by Ford and Bernard Smith from a screenplay by Janet Green and John McCormick, based on the short story "Chinese Finale" by Norah Lofts. The musical score was conducted by Elmer Bernstein and the cinematography was handled by Joseph LaShelle, shot in Panavision. This was the last feature film directed by Ford, ending a career that had spanned 53 years. Ford biographer Joseph McBride dubbed the director's farewell to the art form "as bleak an apocalyptic vision as the cinema has given us."
