Review of Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid (1973) by Mauro F — 09 Jul 2008

Il piu' grande capolavoro western del vecchio Sam. Un'amicizia, un destino, due scelte diverse: o rifiutare il mondo e la sua corruzione (Il Kid), o farsi corrompere e genoflettersi all'autorita' (Pat Garrett).

Epico e tragico. Mai piÃ¹ niente come questo film...
