Hmmm. This is tough. I was struck at how many of the Magnificent Seven players were in The Great Escape together. That theme is one of my favorites..it's not a western. I've found Eli Wallach in westerns with good theme songs, Charles Bronson in Once upon a Time in the West...can't find any two together. How about a hint for old Edythe??

The film presents as a biopic, but it is much more Hollywood than History. The central figure did finish out a 25-year sentence, and he published an autobiography telling his side of things, couched in the language of his better-educated wife. But the actual facts indicate that this is a very bad man's self-whitewash.

Arriving at his wife's home, the ex-con learns that his son, now an adult, has bought in to his reputation, which the father himself regrets. The young man is practicing fast draw, twirling a pistol, etc. The father loses his temper and strikes his son.

Fed by material in the self-serving "autobiography", this script portrays the outlaw's criminal career as a series of winning high-stakes poker games with sore losers, and a string of false charges from corrupt lawmen. Among other things it alleges that a famous and respected lawman once sidestepped a showdown with him by letting him leave town.
