More claptrap Hollywood revisionism...
This movie made me gag as much as any of the hero-worshipping films about the OK Corral incident and events leading up to it.
Typical revisionism for the time periiod, where the anti-hero is the hero and everything representing authority is corrupt and worse than any of the criminals. Just as lamebrained as all the films taking the opposite approach and whitewashing the whole thing.
And those who herald such revisionism for whatever it represents which meets their agreement and approval, are as singularly-minded as the ones who tout the traditional Western. But at least those people have a sense of morality that's understood and dependable. The others have no idea of morality because they see everything as ambiguous or promote the idea of moral equivalency.
And the worse part of it all was seeing "Sons of Katie Elder" last week, and then having to deal with a film that has a character with the same name, but can't stand one-tenth as tall as "Sons".
I'm really getting to the point of not watching any films from this period that claims to tell the way things really were, because they all seem to have been produced or written by the anti-establishment crowd that was rebelling against what actors like John Wayne represented, and I'd rather have John Wayne around even with his faults.
