Review of The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean (1972) by Steve W — 13 Jul 2016
The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean is an interesting western for sure. Roy Bean comes into a bar in the middle of nowhere and gets beaten and robbed, and they try to lynch him via horse. After getting sunburned and almost killed, a Mexican woman gives him a gun and he goes for vengeance.
Titling himself a Judge, he decides to become the leader of the land, to make right law and order with an iron vigilante fist. He makes some quick deputies and they hang anyone they please, and have crazy adventures and deal with many zany things, such as a younger Stacy Keach as Bad Bob, a nasty albino and a also a bear.
The movie jumps ahead and talks about the changing times, and its a violent but interesting look at civilization and justice.
