I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

SYNOPSIS: Accused and then acquitted of killing her husband, Doris Day tries to run a sheep farm, much to the amusement and/or dismay of the locals.NOTES: Doris Day's fourth last movie. After this one she made Caprice (1967), Where Were You When the Lights Went Out? (1968) and With Six You Get Egg Roll (1968).COMMENT: Doris Day's first western since Calamity Jane (1953) isn't half as bad as most critics (including Doris herself) make out. It not only boasts bright color and sets, but our Day looks quite attractive. The support cast is worthwhile too, featuring wonderfully scatty performances by Andy Devine, William Talman, Paul Fix and John Fiedler (as a nervous storekeeper). One of the funniest touches is provided by the uncredited cafe proprietor whose eyes roll delightfully every time Miss Day moves from one accident to another in what is undoubtedly the film's best scene. A pity director Andrew V. McLaglen's control of the rest of the film is not as tight. George Kennedy is pretty well wasted, though he does figure in some exciting action highlights. Milton Krasner's color photography also impresses as a major asset. One big disappointment, however, is that Doris herself doesn't sing a note, the warbling chores being handled by The Sun Set Group and Ronnie Dante. DeVol's excellent score, with its astute combination of familiar folk airs, would seem to provide some excellent opportunities for vocalizing, but this doesn't happen. Ronnie Dante does an excellent job with the pleasant title tune, but this was no doubt added after the movie was completed, as the song is not used at all once the credits roll by.OTHER VIEWS: "Ballad of Josie" was nothing more than a second-rate television western. A terrible movie! —Doris Day.

The problem with this film is that it tried so hard to be funny with some really stupid slap-stick routines that just seemed out-of-place for such a fine cast. Doris Day was not really that bad playing the lead in her charming ways. And even Peter Graves did better than expected as he was cast next to the beautiful Ms Day. The movie was more about comedy than a western -making this somewhat better had it be placed in more modern times than dirty and dusty west. Even from the beginning with the modern song that introduced the title characters, the viewer had a feeling that this was not going to be pretty. This movie tried to be a western but with its fancy talk and high priced wardrobes it just had a feel of being unbelievable. Which leads us to the biggest problem with this film- not believable.The plot, the writing, the situations, the comedy, the drama and the look of this movie all seem to be wrong. And all these factor usually make for a disaster of a show. But the fine actors is what saves this movie from being an all-out wreck. This is not a movie that I would want to watch again but would recommend watching just to see the many fine actors. Just did not have the combination or interest for a good film.

What's not to love about this film? If you can reserve judgment until the end, you'll discover the humorous and heartwarming tale of a woman who is not afraid to stand her ground! Doris Day as Josie, opposite Peter Graves' Jason, is a tremendous force to be reckoned with. In true Doris-style she takes on "the men" of Wyoming, bucking convention (in a great pair of Levi's) and daring them to deny her her basic human rights. OK, so it only takes 2 glasses of brandy to knock Josie off her feet, but she comes right back swinging all the harder! And when the dust clears, she's there, triumphant to the end. Not only does she beat back an oppressive cattle baron, she also manages to fend for herself and her son, run a sheep-raising operation, endear herself to the women of Wyoming, and win the love and admiration of a pretty swell guy, in my opinion. So who says you can't have your cake and eat it too? I give Josie 10 stars **********

One of Doris Day's lesser-known entries from late in her film career, one even she wishes she had passed on. Feisty female turns rancher in this feminist western, butting heads with the local-yokels in a distaff variation on "The Sheepman". Doris doesn't look her best here (blame it on that wig), although her conniption fits are as funny as ever. When Day gets her ire up, it's really something to behold. But the film is unbelievably anachronistic, especially since this was 1967. No wonder she later turned to TV; this plays like a failed TV pilot, with a supporting cast to match! Directed by genre-mainstay Andrew V. McLaglen, who must have been looking at his watch. *1/2 from ****
