Heartland is a 1979 American film, directed by Richard Pearce, starring Rip Torn and Conchata Ferrell. The film is a stark depiction of early homestead life in the American West. It is based on a memoir by Elinore Pruitt Stewart, titled Letters of a Woman Homesteader (1914).
Set in southwestern Wyoming, where Stewart homesteaded, the movie was filmed in central Montana.
The soundtrack features New Orleans clarinetist George Lewis playing the hymn, "What A Friend We Have In Jesus."
In 1980 the film was featured as a "Buried Treasure" (a film that received little attention during its initial run) on an episode of the TV show, Sneak Previews, produced and hosted by the film critics Roger Ebert and Gene Siskel.
