Gritty Warner Bros. Western


Warner Bros, in the days of the studio system, were known primarily for their gritty film noirs and gangster thrillers. But this is a western that has much of the same feel as those other movies. Paul Newman is great as Billy The Kid, fitting since the rest of the cast is great as well.

What's the Spanish for drunken bum?

Yes and give Warners credit for having Penn direct his first movie after an auspicious career in TV. Penn turned out to be one of films great directors with many big hits in his credits.

my favorites are Harlow and Garbo. I guess I'm just an old fashion guy
