Dr Quinn - Lady Doctor

Fourth girl of a rich person doctor of Boston, Michaela defies suitabilities of the American company of the years 1860, by obtaining her diploma for the occupation of doctor, thus following the traces of her father. After the death of this last, the young woman, "Dr. Mike" Quinn leave Boston to settle in Colorado Springs, at the border of the colonized grounds. The inhabitants of this small traditional city seem not very enthusiastic with the idea to have a woman for doctor. But the beautiful one will have the occasion to prove reliable.

Although the series proceeds during the time western of the years 1860, Dr. Quinn, Lady doctor does not have anything a conventional series western. The Colts seldom left their case and the adventures told here, are far from those of Virginian or Rawhide . It initially makes a point of describing the combat of a woman. A woman alone, in hostile environment, a very known universe of the public and very codified.

But the series approaches in fact famous Little House in the Meadow . Like Michael Landon and his small family, Doctor Quinn tries to improve the life of the community in an environment hostile, difficult to control. Beyond the prejudices, the community will need Quinn well to conquer grounds not always pleasing. It is thus necessary to leave the prejudices, of conventions, to settle in a not very pleasant place to transform it into a haven of peace.

Message progressist, which doubles values, carried by the series, which is obviously from a very contemporary point of view: feminism and sexism, family, love, tolerance. Difficult at the present time not to guess a metaphor on the condition of the women in our companies. Difficult not to be charmed by the councils of this good doctor in underskirts. Difficult not to see at which point the series manages to leave the beaten paths of the western. Difficult thus not to look at some episodes, history to note, that in the west, there is the new one!

Actress of international fame, it is well she which plays Marie Antoinette in film, the French revolution in 1989. 10 years later, she accepted from the Queen of England, the title of Officer of the British Empire. Jane Seymour thus always knew to manage her career and the success of the series of Beth Sullivan did nothing but reward her efforts. Efforts to maintain a career minor (little recognition for the actors of television during the Eighties) but carried out in a royal way...
