Overview:
This marvellous winter western contains a fine performance by Charlton Heston as the grizzled lone rider of the title, who confronts the memorable Joan Hackett and is uncertain of how to break the tough habits of a lifetime: "I'm a cowboy. I don't know nuthin' else." Director Tom Gries, aided off screen by his friend Sam Peckinpah, never hit these heights again: this is unquestionably one of the great westerns, invariably overlooked, and marred only by the florid performance of an ill-cast Donald Pleasence. The photography by Lucien Ballard - who was also responsible for the look of Peckinpah's The Wild Bunch and Henry Hathaway's True Grit - is particularly outstanding, as is the fine score from Laura's David Raksin.
