What a cute gem from William Witney
The opening scene, bank robbery, reminds LONG RIDERS or any western speaking of James' gang during the Northfield Minnesota raid. I love this scheme of professional hoodlums, like a ballet, change horses, get rid of their clothes, share the loot before split in different directions. No useless dialogues, as clockwork, as in a parade. Whow !!!! That remInded me another film, not a western, But a French crime from 1997, J'IRAI AU PARADIS CAR L'ENFER EST ICI. No one will ever see the other opponents after the post robbery split; the story will focus only on one character, whose fate will - maybe - forever change. This Witney's movie is a false western, but an excellent oater, in the line of RG Springsteen's COME NEXT SPRING or Jacques Tourneur's STARS IN MY CROWN; a pastoral western. But believe me, even if that's not your stuff - that's my case - this petty movie is very surprising from someone like Bill Witney, far from his serials, without any stunt, action sequences - except the opening ones and the TERRIFIC scene with the mustang, the mad horse, an outstanding jaw dropping sequence, which you would never expect to see in a small film, even a western- a feature focused mainly on character depiction.
