The New Daughters of Joshua Cabe

About This Movie

The New Daughters of Joshua Cabe is a curious blend of comedy and Western tropes, wrapped in the quaint atmosphere of a 1970s TV movie. The pacing feels relaxed, allowing the characters’ charm to shine through as the three young women navigate their audacious plan to free their elderly faux father from the gallows. There's a certain earnestness in the performances, especially from the leads, who manage to inject some genuine warmth into the film. The practical effects are minimal, but that adds to its charm, grounding the story in a palpable reality that contrasts the absurdity of their scheme. It’s not just about the plot; there’s a playful exploration of friendship and loyalty woven throughout, which gives it a distinctive feel.

This film has seen limited releases and can be a bit tricky to track down, particularly in good condition. Most collectors know it primarily from its TV origins, with few physical media options available, making it somewhat of a niche find. Interest tends to fluctuate, but there’s definitely a group of collectors who appreciate its unique take on the Western genre mixed with comedy and the vintage charm of the 1970s television landscape.
