Review

A star rating of 3 out of 5.

Adrian Turner

Director Clint Eastwood also takes the starring role in this small-scale charmer about a shoe sales clerk who dreams of becoming a cowboy. Eastwood assembles a bunch of other no-hopers and oddballs, among them Sondra Locke, who launch a Wild West show with a singular brand of all-American optimism. It's The Outlaw Josey Wales without the spitting, shooting and killing, as Eastwood deftly plays with his image as a solitary man of action, the loner who resents company but gets it all the same. The director is a sure judge of tone, and there's sufficient edge and wit to keep bathos at bay in what is at times a rather sentimental yarn. And, thankfully, there isn't an orangutan in sight.
