Review of The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean (1972) by Sarah H — 03 May 2007
Everyone is having fun in this film, and if you get into its mindset, the episodic adventures of the dryly humorous, ever-irritable Bean can be very entertaining. Director John Huston isn't aiming for art, here - more a sort of film version of a cheap, yellow paperback, complete with guest stars who show up for one scene and then disappear (each having managed to increasingly steal the show).
When it's over, you won't get any real insight into the life of Judge Bean, but you'll be glad you met him.
