I stumbled on to a neat western the other day; the title is "Draw". It was made in 1984 and must have been one of Kirk Douglas's last movies before his stroke. Also starred James Coburn as a retired sheriff who had turned into a drunk. The movie successfully walks the fine line between comedy and drama. Douglas plays a reformed criminal who won some money fairly in a poker game and the loser raises a fuss once he finds out who Douglas is. The local sheriff gets killed accidently by Douglas and the story goes on from there. I won't tell you how it ends, but the ending makes you question some of the conclusions you had accepted earlier in the film. A bit like the old Peter Sellers movie "Being There", which is one of my favorites.
