 Worth Every Penny September 30, 2008
D. J. Morgan (Tokyo, Japan)
Chuck in fine form as a crusty sodbuster but a bit dour throughout. Earnest performances help carry it along but it's not quite entertainment, is it ? I don't think I can recommend buying it but should prove a worthwhile curiosity as a Wednesday night rental.
 Hesten's favorite August 1, 2008
B. Bates (Santa Fe, NM USA)
Very good movie and one of Heston's favorites. Not a "traditional" western, but one of my favorites. Well acted and entertaining.
Heston's lone cowboy June 10, 2008

This minor classic Western, totally ignored by Paramount when it was released in '68, stands as one of the best performances the late Chuck Heston ever gave even over "Major Dundee" which he wrote off as a fiasco in an interview he gave. He should be proud of this film because unlike many Westerns of its time, this one is more character-driven than like say "Silverado" which sacrifices character development for action (Lawrence Kasden could take a pointer from this flick). The late Joan Hackett is also excellent as the lone woman who takes in Heston after he is beaten by the crazen Donald Pleasance & his family (Bruce Dern, etc) and learns to love again as she falls for this lonely, 50'ish cowboy. Tom Gries directed with a sure hand and the outdoor photography is fantastic. This western along with Peckingpah's "Ride the High Country" stands as one of the true classics of this genre. Whole heartedly recommended for Heston enthusiasts and western buffs!!
Old Cowboy Tell June 2, 2008
J. E. Sherman (Los Angeles, CA USA)
Good cowboy story. Story of a over the hill cowboy riding the line. Cowboy things happen. One of Heston's best movies.
Best realistic western before Lonesome Dove May 21, 2008

One can see why C. H. loved making this movie. He SO fit into the character, one wonders why it was so hard for him to shed the Moses/Ben Hur
image. Much care was made by the producer and director to create a realistic western, and STILL have a very interesting story about a very interesting character. When some people talk about great western riders in movies (Ben Johnson is counted as one of the best, and he's in the movie), they shouldn't leave out old C. H. He looks like a true cowboy in all his riding scenes, and he was a great rider.
