Gravel In Her Gut and Spit In Her Eye

Gravel In Her Gut and Spit In Her Eye (2005) is a documentary, western film directed by Bill Bilverstone.

Dorothy Johnson was a Western writer ahead of her time. Women saved men, heroes died unwept and unsung, whites lived with Indians and benefited from the experience. Three of her stories were made into films and many critics consider "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" to be the cornerstone of the modern western. This documentary looks back on Dorothy's life, and her place in history.
