Review
Our Score
by
Tony Sloman
Paul Newman said that his best movies all start with an "H", and this fine, grim western bears him out, though it's not quite in the same league as
The Hustler
or
Hud
. This is a
Stagecoach
variation, assembling differing characters for a trek through Arizona, played by a very distinguished cast including veteran Fredric March and a gnarled Richard Boone. Only import Diane Cilento (Sean Connery's ex-wife and Jason Connery's mother) seems ill-at-ease in a pivotal role. The movie is beautifully shot by veteran photographer James Wong Howe, and Newman's famed piercing blue eyes have seldom been more prominently featured. The plot has many valid points to make about incipient racism, and the film is deeply rewarding.
Summary
A white man raised by Apaches joins a stagecoach on a journey across the Arizona desert, but is treated with scorn by his fellow passengers because of his background. However, when they are attacked by bandits, he is the first to stand up and defend the people who hate him. Western, starring Paul Newman, Richard Boone, Fredric March, Diane Cilento and Cameron Mitchell.
