A strangely unconventional Western from the expat director better known for movies like Cat People and Out of the Past.
It seems less interested in plot (or establishing who are the heroes and villains) than with setting. It also did a barn raising decades before Witness.
Still, hard to get fully on board with a movie that refers to American Indians, with no compunction, as “Red Beasties.” Tough to take, even if it is coming from Andy Devine’s mouth.
Rented from Netflix b/c it features Hoagy Carmichael singing our wedding song, “Ol’ Buttermilk Sky.” It is the last thing that happens just before the credits roll.
