Who was their leader? I don't think she's credited.

It's Colleen Dewhurst, who is really wonderful in that small cameo role.

Not sure if they were married at the time, but Dewhurst was married to George C. Scott for a number of years. He moved on to the younger but somewhat similar-looking Trish Van Devere.

Colleen Dewhurst was a major Broadway stage actress, with limited film work.

Even in this film Miss Dewhurst was a smoldering presence on the screen- major hottie points from me.

It's that voice - what a voice!

Campbell Scott is the son of Colleen and George C. He and his mother performed together in Dying Young.

It was an odd, gratuitous, pointless scene - a band of prostitutes, camped out in the middle of nowhere in the Montana prairie. Didn't make much sense for this story.

It was an interesting encounter for the boys--two of them anyway--plus Mr. Nightlinger, and helped give the story some added color. I don't see how it's any more odd or pointless than the wagon train coming across that odd medicine show trio in John Ford's WAGON MASTER.
