What Was The Last Western You Watched?

"Catlow" (1971)
-Yul Brynner, Richard Crenna, Leonard Nimoy

Plot :IMDB

Marshall Cowan and the mercenary Miller are both separately hunting the outlaw Catlow. During the Civil War both Cowan and the always smiling Catlow were comrades. Catlow helps Cowan, when he is wounded in the right leg by an arrow from the Apaches, despite Cowan hunting him. Catlow escapes with help of his gang. Catlow then robes a Mexican gold shipment, worth $ 2,000,000. Catlow flies with the stolen gold through the dangerous territory of the Apaches who besides of Miller, Cowan and the Mexican cavalry, are hunting for him and his gang of outlaws.

Phantom's Review: While it's kind of strange to see Yul Brynner in a western NOT wearing his traditional black hat and outfit, this is still a fun,light hearted film. Plenty of good western action and stunts. A good story (based on a Louis L'Amour novel) and some fine acting. It's a treat to see Nimoy as the bad ass bounty hunter looking for Brynner's outlaw. Brynner had a great charm and it really shows in this film. Not a classic, but highly entertaining.

"Stagecoach To Dancers Rock" (1962)
-Warren Stevens, Martin Landau

Plot :IMDB
Six passengers in a stagecoach are abandoned by their driver when he thinks that one of them has smallpox.

Phantom's Review: Well acted, but predictable low budget film. Very little action and even less logic make up this movie. Feels almost like it was made back in the '40's by Monagram or Republic Studios. Worth one viewing if your a western fan, but after that, forget it.
