I haven't seen this movie in almost twenty years! It was like finding a long lost friend. I've got to say the story is very dirty, gritty, and haunting. Kris Kristofferson's character is a man made hard and cold by the very landscape in which he had settled so long ago. And the music. The score by Sylvester Levay truly gives the movie exactly the right mood that it needs to convey. It's not an overwhelmingly brash score either. It does strike me as being more like a whisper into one's ear. It's also one of the few Westerns that I've seen where both the good guys and the bad guys carry a Remington 1875.
What do you think?
