It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
This movie, if it still exists, is probably not very good. I have read the novel.It actually starts off very well, with interesting characters, then totally falls apart in the second half.Emerson Hough was a writer with great strengths and equally great weaknesses. In the Covered Wagon, and North of 36 his strengths were dominant, and these novels are still readable.In others, it is an ordeal to get through them, something you wouldn't want to do twice.He was at his best when dealing with ordinary people;when it came to hero, heroine and villain, they were the worse kind of wooden stereotype.The first part is a simple, believable story about interesting Western characters, the later part is so ridiculous, so far fetched that it is hard to believe that the same person wrote the entire novel.
