Review of Hannie Caulder (1971) by Michael T — 06 Jan 2016

I don't know what your troubles are, lady, but I don't give a damn...

Hannie Cauldor's husband is murdered and she is brutally raped by two men. Hannie offers a bounty hunter anything he wants to train her to be a cold blooded killer. After she is trained, she hunts down the gang the two men came from.

"I heard you got real smart since the last time I saw you...".

"Funny, I didn't hear the same about you.".

Burt Kennedy, director of Comanche, Big Bad, John, Wolf Lake, The Killer Inside Me, The Train Robber, The Devil's Backbone (1971), The Rounders (1965), and The Canadians, delivers Hannie Caulder. The storyline for this picture is entertaining and worthwhile. It is straightforward in many ways but a solid western. The acting is average and the cast includes Raquel Welch, Robert Culp, Christopher Lee, Jack Elam, Diana Dors, and Strother Martin.

"First comes right and then comes fast.".

This was recently added to the Netflix queue so I snagged it for my wish list. This was fun to watch unfold and Welch wasn't terrible. The action scenes were cliché but entertaining. This is an okay addition to the western genre.

"She wants to be a man.".

Grade: C+.
