Zandy's Bride is a 1974 American Western film directed by Jan Troell and starring Gene Hackman and Liv Ullmann.

[3] Zandy Allan is a hard-working cattle rancher in a remote part of the American West who needs a hired hand more than he needs a wife.

He is not interested in love, only in work, although this does not keep him from misbehaving around a local woman named Maria.

Hannah is here, in his mind, strictly to help Zandy run his ranch and provide future sons.

Director Jan Troell recounted, "The first problem with me on Zandy's Bride was that I wasn't allowed to operate the camera [because of U.S. union rules].
