Review of The Train Robbers (1973) by Michael V — 03 Dec 2011
Burt Kennedy's Howard Hawks homage works on many levels. Straight up western. Quest movie. Surprisingly wistful sexual tension. Great cinematography by William H. Clothier. A rousing musical score by Dominic Frontiere that even if we are made to wait for 15 minutes before it start never leaves our head thereafter.
The best dialogue Burt Kennedy gave us since Comanche Station. Throw in the twist ending and I can't think of a better way to spend 90 minutes.
