Synopsis
Based on Lillian Bos Ross' novel The Stranger and adapted
by screenwriter Marc Norman 25 years before he would win
the Best Original Screenplay Academy Award for 1999's
Shakespeare in Love (along with Tom Stoppard), Zandy's Bride
is a romantic Western starring (Gene Hackman) as gruff rural
rancher Zandy Allan. Looking more for an extra hand around the
ranch than a companion, Zandy sends for a mail-order bride from
Sweden. Unfortunately for him, he doesn't get what he expected.
When his bride, Hannah (Liv Ullmann), arrives she is anything but
compliant, bearing a headstrong attitude that rubs Zandy the
wrong way. Although he mistreats her at first, Zandy and Hannah
fall in love as hardship hits and they must struggle together for their
survival. Also starring Eileen Heckart and Harry Dean Stanton, Zandy's
Bride was also released under the title For Better, For Worse.
